A feverish 5-year-old girl diagnosed with influenza A virus from a positive rapid influenza type A antigen test, and suffering pain and redness in her left knee had febrile convulsions and was admitted. Her knee pain and redness increased. She was diagnosed with acute osteomyelitis and subperiosteal abscess based on MRI. We started intravenous antibiotics and punctured and drained the abscess.<I>S. pyogenes</I>was isolated from blood and puncture pus culture and a rapid group A β hemolytic<I>Streptococcal</I>antigen test was positive in a throat swab. After 10days' drainage and 28days' antibiotics treatment, she was discharged. Viral superinfections aggravate <I>S. pyogenes</I> infection both in animal models and human cases. This case gives futher evidence that superinfectious influenza A virus is a risk factor for severe<I>S. pyogenes</I>infection.
