Aggressive antibi- otic treatment and fluid-replacement therapy were successful in preventing further dissemination of the bacteremia. However, amputation of three digits on the left hand and debridement of her toes on both feet was required. A diagnosis of overwhelming severe pneumococcal sepsis was made.
