An increased morbidity by Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococci) during the perinatal period was to be found in some countries since 1961. Six cases of group B streptococcal meningitis were confirmed by the Central Streptococcus Laboratory of the GDR from July to December 1975. Therefore it is necessary to look for group B streptococcal infection in certain cases of diseases of the newborn. In a short review of literature the clinical signs (acute onset with respiratory distress, sepsis or late onset with meningitis), prevalence, source of infection and therapy (ampicillin or a combination of penicillin G and gentamicin) were summarized. The diagnosis is confirmed by isolation of group B streptococci.
自1961年以来，在一些国家发现围产期无乳链球菌（B组链球菌）的发病率有所上升。1975年7月至12月，民主德国中央链球菌实验室确诊了6例B组链球菌脑膜炎病例。因此，有必要在某些新生儿疾病病例中寻找B组链球菌感染。在对文献的简短回顾中，总结了临床症状（急性起病伴呼吸窘迫、败血症或迟发性起病伴脑膜炎）、患病率、感染源和治疗方法（氨苄西林或青霉素G与庆大霉素联合使用）。通过分离B组链球菌来确诊。
