Beta haemolytic streptococcal infection does not cause right diaphragmatic eventration
Numerous case reports in the literature have suggested a causal link between beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection and delayed-onset right-sided diaphragmatic hernia/eventration in the perinatal age group. We report a child with antenatally documented right diaphragmatic eventration 4 weeks before birth who subsequently developed a beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection in the neonatal period.
