Nasal flaring, grunting, and poor feeding presented soon after birth. An empiric treatment wit...
متن کاملSerotypes of group B meningococci.
Strains of group B meningococci isolated from cases of sporadic infection, epidemic infection, and from patients unassociated with clinical meningococcal infection have been examined by a serological typing technique. The majority of group B meningococci from clinical infections in the UK have serotype 2 antigen. Such strains were relatively uncommon among carriers who had no association with m...

Group B streptococcal disease remains a prominent cause of infectious morbidity in pregnant women and their infants. This article highlights recent developments that are relevant for obstetricians, perinatologists, and neonatologists caring for patients with group B streptococcal disease. The morbidity of group B streptococcal infections in pregnancy and the proposed association of colonization...
متن کاملGroup B Streptococcal Myocarditis
Bacterial myocarditis is an uncommon form of infectious myocarditis. The definitive diagnosis requires histopathology with evidence of bacterial invasion. We report a case of group B streptococcal myocarditis secondary to septicaemia with complete atrioventricular (AV) block and new left bundle branch block. The histopathology revealed patchy small foci of myocyte necrosis. The necrotic areas c...
