Pneumococcal cellulitis is an uncommon infection. Head, neck, and trunk are usually affected in patients with hematological malignancies and
lupus erythematosus
. Limb cellulitis is frequently observed in patients with diabetes mellitus, drug abusers, or alcoholics. Patients present with septic shock most of the time. Surgical treatment is necessary in 50% of the cases. The outcome is usually favorable. We describe the case of a 72-year-old alcoholic patient with diabetes mellitus presenting with cellulitis and septic shock. Serotype 19 Streptococcus pneumoniae with abnormal susceptibility to penicillin (MIC: 0.75 mg/l) was isolated from cellulitis and in blood culture. The evolution was favorable after itavenous antibiotherapy combining ceftriaxone(
DCI
) (2 g/j), metronidazole(
DCI
) (1 g/j), and ciprofloxacin(
DCI
).
