Abstract
Numerous case reports in the literature have suggested a causal link b etween beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection and delayed-onset right -sided diaphragmatic hernia/eventration in the perinatal age group. We report a child with antenatally documented right diaphragmatic eventr ation 4 weeks before birth who subsequently developed a beta-haemolyti c streptococcal infection in the neonatal period.
