Abstract
A 38-day-old prematurely born infant developed rapidly progressive fac ial cellulitis in association with ipsilateral submandibular lymphaden opathy and pulmonary consolidation. Group B streptococci (GBS) were is olated from blood, endotracheal, and lesion cultures. Prompt recogniti on of GBS cellulitis-adenitis and institution of parenteral, synergist ic antibiotic therapy are important.
