Two fatal cases of invasive pneumococcal disease in the newborn are reported, both acquired from the maternal vagina. The rarity of vaginal carriage of pneumococcus suggests that this organism has a higher invasion to colonisation ratio than group B streptococcus and maternal carriage or neonatal colonisation should be more aggressively treated.
报告了两例新生儿侵袭性肺炎球菌疾病的致命病例,均从母体阴道获得。肺炎球菌在阴道内携带情况罕见,这表明该病原体的侵袭与定植比例高于B族链球菌,对于母体携带或新生儿定植应采取更积极的治疗措施。
