title: [Fulminating streptococcal cellulitis. Importance of hypovolemic shock].
abstract: The authors report three cases. Hemostasis abnormalities and lowering of complement fractions was observed. Severe shock was lethal in two cases associated with severe local lesions. The role of unadapted treatment like corticosteroids and the lack of early penicillino therapy is discussed to explain this evolution.
