    Summary

    Group B Streptococcus (GBS) can cause cellulitis in young infants, presenting as submandibular inflammation. Early diagnosis through blood cultures and lesion aspiration is crucial for effective treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neonatology

    Background:

    • Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a common cause of neonatal infections.
    • Cellulitis in infants can manifest with diverse clinical presentations.
    • Submandibular inflammatory induration is an uncommon but significant sign.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of young infants presented with GBS cellulitis.
    • The cellulitis was characterized by submandibular inflammatory induration.
    • Clinical presentation was consistent with previously reported literature.

    Findings:

    • The infants' age, lesion appearance, and location were characteristic of GBS cellulitis.
    • Bacteriologic diagnosis was confirmed via blood cultures and lesion aspiration.
    • Prompt identification of GBS is essential for appropriate management.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of GBS infection in neonates.
    • Emphasizes the role of targeted bacteriologic diagnosis in confirming the etiology.
    • Informs clinical practice for early detection and treatment of GBS cellulitis in infants.
