Double recurrence of group B streptococcus bacteremia in an immunocompetent infant

Abstract

We report an immunocompetent infantile case wherein group B streptococcus bacteremia recurred two times. The isolated bacteria which colonized in his nasopharyngeal cavity might be a source of repetitive infection. Although the best action has not been established yet, penicillin G as the prophylaxis seemed to be effective in this case. © 2012 The Authors. Pediatrics International © 2012 Japan Pediatric Society.
