Skin lesions in association with beta-hemolytic Streptococcus group B. 1976

J B Lopez, and P Gross, and T R Boggs

A full-term male infant delivered by caesarean section following a prolonged rupture of the amniotic membranes of 30 hours' duration manifested peculiar skin lesions at the time of birth consistent with the healing phase of bullous impetigo. He was colonized with beta-hemolytic Streptococcus group B that was also cultured from the mother's cervix. It is possible this infant became infected in utero since the healing stage of the lesions suggest that they were present sometime before birth.
