  • Title: [Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal meningitis in a pregnant woman].
    Author: Ferrazzini G, Peduzzi R, Balestra B.

    Abstract:
    A case of group A streptococcal meningitis in a normally healthy pregnant woman is described, with a review of the literature. Streptococcus pyogenes is a very rare cause of bacterial meningitis and especially affects immunocompetent subjects. The evolution is often associated with severe neurologic deficits, but the prognosis is favourable under treatment with penicillin. In the light of the recrudescence of invasive infections, this germ could assume a more important role in bacterial meningitis comparable to that in the pre-antibiotic era.
