[Streptococcal perianal disease and balanoposthitis].

Two cases are reported in which Lancefield group beta-haemolytic streptococci were isolated from culture- from the perineal skin. The physical examination showed perianal irritation and excoriation in both cases and seropurulent anal and balano-preputial discharge in the first only. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in which the streptococcal perianal disease is associated to a balanoposthitis and at the same time increments the clinical spectrum of the illness.
