ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Invasive group B streptococcal disease in childhood is uncommon and occupies a unique clinical niche. We present 10 children, 1-17 years of age, with invasive group B streptococcal disease from 2010 to 2020. Seven had conditions predisposing to infection and 3 had no identifiable risk factors. With appropriate consideration of pathogenesis, source control, and treatment, all children recovered.
