A case of fatal neonatal meningitis due to Group B β-haemolytic is described. Early diagnosis and institution of vigorous antibiotic therapy were of no avail. Although the mortality rate is very high in comparison to many other neonatal bacterial infections reported so far, it is difficult to explain the fact that there are so few references to it as a pathogen in the British literature.
本文描述了一例由B组β溶血性链球菌引起的致命性新生儿脑膜炎病例。早期诊断并积极进行抗生素治疗均无济于事。尽管与目前报道的许多其他新生儿细菌感染相比,其死亡率很高,但很难解释为何在英国文献中作为病原体提及它的文献如此之少。
