[Palpebral edema with fever and Streptococcus sanguis septicemia].
A case of facial cellulitis complicated by regional thrombophlebitis and septicemia is reported in a 6 year-old girl. Streptococcus sanguis, a bacterial agent, unusually responsible for cellulitis, was isolated from 5 blood cultures. This child had no immunosuppression or endocarditis or dental infection. She had been previously given a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, which was potentially responsible for the diffusion of infection.
