[Streptococcus bovis meningitis and sepsis in neonates: report of two cases]
Abstract:
Streptococcus bovis is a veterinary organism rarely previously reported in the neonatal infection. Two cases are presented of neonatal infection by this organism; one case manifested with meningitis and the other, with sepsis. Seizure and respiratory distress were the symptoms found in these two babies, respectively. Following adequate treatment, recovery was complete, and the infants enjoyed healthy lives post-discharge. S. bovis is always sensitive to penicillin, but resistant strain has been reported recently. It is reasonable to treat infant patients infected by this organism with a combined initial therapy of penicillin and aminoglycoside. After the minimal inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentration of antibiotic has been determined, penicillin or ampicillin can be used alone.
