Abstract:
We present a case of relapsing group B streptococcal bacteremia in a patient with cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis C. As no focal infection was found, other then cervical carriage, the patient required secondary prophylaxis with penicillin following the third episode of primary bacteremia within a twelve month time frame.
