[Group B streptococcus cellulitis-adenitis syndrome in neonates. Is it a marker of bacteremia?].
We report the case of an infant in whom facial cellulitis was the only initial sign of a group B streptococcal bacteriemia. Adenitis-cellulitis syndrome is a rare clinical manifestation of group B streptococcal infection in infants. Local infection together with the onset of fever can be the only signs of bacteriemia in newborns and infants.
