Description
Mandeep Singh and colleagues report a case of heart valve infection whose infected clots scattered through the body of a woman with weakened immunity. She was 50, with neck-of-womb cancer, and on two immune-suppressing cancer drugs.
She arrived with fever, blistering skin sores, a rash, and new weakness down her right side. Scans showed lung cavities, liver spots, and ring-shaped brain lesions that looked like spread cancer or abscesses. Cultures from her hand and foot sores grew Streptococcus pyogenes, pointing to infection rather than tumour spread. Strong antibiotics brought clear improvement without brain surgery, and Singh urges early team review when infection mimics cancer.
