Group B streptococcal infection presenting as sudden death in infancy.

M Barnham, D C Henderson.   

Abstract

Two infants aged 3 and 8 months were found dead in their cots. Postmortem cultures yielded group B streptococci from multiple internal sites, and cytomegalovirus was also isolated from the lungs of one. These cases show the value of microbiological culture in the investigation of sudden infant death.
