Abstract

An 88-year-old lady presented with idiopathic sepsis and ischaemic gangrene of the right breast. Group-A bacteraemia was identified on blood culture. Breast biopsies taken were negative for malignancy. The patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics and fluid resuscitation. Subsequent wound care and continuation of oral antibiotics led to complete recovery.
