title: [2 fatal cases of pneumococcal septicemia after bone marrow transplantation].
abstract: Patients with bone-marrow transplants have an increased risk of developing fulminant pneumococcal infections for years after transplantation. In order to illustrate this, two cases of fetal pneumococcal septicaemia in patients with bone-marrow transplants are described. Self-medication with penicillin in case of fever is recommended.
