Abstract

Colonizing the gastrointestinal and genitourinary system, group B streptococcus (GBS) causes focal and systemic infections in infants in the first 3 months of life and in pregnant women and elderly people. GBS, less frequently, emerges as an infectious agent among children and adults with facilitating factors, like immunosuppression, malignancy, immune deficiency, and chronic liver and kidney failure. In this article, an 11-year-old child with cervical lymphadenitis due to GBS who had no concomitant disease or immunosup- pression is presented.

Özet

Gastrointestinal ve genitoüriner sistemde kolonize olan grup B streptokoklar (GBS) hayatın ilk üç ayındaki bebeklerde, hamilelerde ve yaşlılarda fokal ve sistemik enfeksiyonlara neden olmaktadır. GBS, daha az sıklıkla immunsupresyon, malignansi, immun yetmezlik, kronik karaciğer ve böbrek yetmezliği gibi kolaylaştırıcı faktörlere sahip çocuklarda ve erişkinlerde de enfeksiyon etkeni olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu makalede eşlik eden hastalığı ya da immunsupresyonu bulunmayan, grup B streptokoklara bağlı servikal lenfadenit gelişen 11 yaşındaki çocuk hasta sunulmuştur.
