is well known to be a potential etiology of bacterial meningitis in neonates. Invasive has been also reported in nonpregnant adults. Among adults, the incidence of invasive group B Streptococcus (GBS) has been increasing 2-4 times in the past 2 decades. Chronic medical disease was suspected to increase the susceptibility for invasive GBS, especially diabetes mellitus. There was only one case reported to have GBS meningitis from acute otitis media infection in otherwise healthy individual. Hereby, we are reporting the second invasive GBS meningitis from acute otitis media infection with mastoiditis.
众所周知，它是新生儿细菌性脑膜炎的潜在病因。侵袭性感染在非妊娠成人中也有报道。在成人中，侵袭性B族链球菌（GBS）的发病率在过去20年中增加了2至4倍。慢性疾病被怀疑会增加侵袭性GBS的易感性，尤其是糖尿病。仅有一例报告称，在其他方面健康的个体中，急性中耳炎感染引发了GBS脑膜炎。在此，我们报告第二例因急性中耳炎伴乳突炎感染导致的侵袭性GBS脑膜炎。
