Serious group B beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections in adults: report of two cases and review of the literature.

J M Nicklas.   

Abstract

Adult infections with group B beta-hemolytic streptococci have been infrequently reported in the past. Two patients described herein, one with meningitis and the other with suppurative arthritis, emphasize that the organism is a potential pathogen and cause of serious infections in adults. The literature pertinent to these group B streptococcal infections is reviewed.
