由化脓性链球菌(A组)引起的间隔室综合征很少被描述。我们报告一例健康的44岁男性患者，表现为右前臂间隔室综合征和随后的急性呼吸窘迫综合征。患者接受了抗生素和紧急手术减压，然后延迟缝合伤口，不需要植皮。患者恢复正常，没有失去动力、感觉或活动范围。高度怀疑、早期干预和良好的术后处理是康复的关键。
Compartment syndrome caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococcus) has rarely been described. We report a case of a healthy 44-year-old male who presented with compartment syndrome of the right forearm and subsequent acute respiratory distress syndrome. The patient received antibiotics and urgent surgical decompression, followed by delayed wound closure without the need for skin grafting. The patient recovered with no loss of power, sensation or range of movement. High index of suspicion, early intervention and excellent post-operative management were essential in recovery.
