[Isolation of Streptococcus pneumoniae from genital samples. Discussion of its pathogenic role].

Within an eleven month period (September 1984 to July 1985) fourteen Streptococcus pneumoniae were isolated from varied genital samples (vaginal secretions, IUD, placentas, sperms). The possible carriage and the pathogenicity of pneumococcus are examined. The outbreak of several pooled cases last year, pose a difficult problem.
