Abstrak

Children who undergo adenotonsillectomy frequently return to the hospital, most commonly for post-operative dehydration, hemorrhage, and pain control. Post-operative systemic infectious complications are rarely observed and not well-described. In this case series, we present three cases of invasive Streptococcus pyogenes infection following adenotonsillectomy. Providers caring for ill-appearing children post-adenotonsillectomy should consider these complications to help avoid diagnostic and treatment delay. Postoperative risks of adenotonsillectomy should be carefully considered and discussed with families prior to operating, especially for children with chronic medical conditions.
