Streptococcus pyogenes meningitis (SPM) occurs sporadically, even with the increase of invasive streptococcal disease observed in the past years. We reported two cases of SPM in infants to alert pediatricians for the possibility of this agent as a cause of meningitis in previously healthy children.
化脓性链球菌脑膜炎（SPM）呈散发性出现，即便在过去几年中侵袭性链球菌疾病有所增加。我们报告了两例婴儿SPM病例，以提醒儿科医生注意这种病原体作为既往健康儿童脑膜炎病因的可能性。
