  • Title: Group B streptococcal cellulitis in a child with steroid-responsive nephrotic syndrome.
    Author: Sickler SJ, Edwards MS.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2001 Oct; 20(10):1007-9. PubMed ID: 11642620.
    Abstract:
    Although infectious complications of nephrotic syndrome are common, group B Streptococcus is a rare pathogen in these patients. We present a 4-year-old child with nephrotic syndrome who developed group B streptococcal cellulitis and bacteremia, an association not previously discussed in the literature, and review the factors that predispose patients with nephrotic syndrome to infection.
