Conclusion and results
In conclusion, this case report highlights the importance of recognizing
EN as a potential manifestation of streptococcal infection and
emphasizes the value of a thorough clinical history, physical
examination, and targeted laboratory investigations in establishing the
diagnosis. The familial occurrence of EN in this case suggests a
possible genetic predisposition or shared environmental exposure to the
triggering pathogen. Prompt identification and appropriate management of
the underlying cause are crucial for the optimal treatment of EN and the
prevention of potential complications. Further research is needed to
elucidate the genetic and environmental factors contributing to the
development of familial EN and to improve our understanding of this rare
condition.
