BACKGROUND: @entity2260 is a rare cause (1-8 %) of @entity281 causing an important morbi-mortality in the newborn and the mother. AIM: To report 3 cases of early @entity281 due to S @entity55 . CASES REPORT: Three cases of early @entity281 due to @entity2260 are reported. The three newborns were at term or near term babies with a vaginal delivery in two cases and a caesarean section in one case. They presented severe symptoms, with a progressive onset after birth, leading to hypoxemic @entity55 in one case and to @entity326 in two newborns associated with @entity693 in one case. @entity2260 was isolated in the blood culture in two @entity1 with positive soluble antigens in the cerebrospinal fluid in one case and positive peripheral bacteriological swabs in the other case. In the third case, @entity2260 was isolated in the tracheal sample of the newborn and his mother. @entity2260 was sensitive to @entity869 in two @entity1 and of decreased sensitivity to @entity869 in one @entity1 . The clinical course was favourable in the three @entity1 after hospitalization in the intensive care unit. CONCLUSION: Early neonatal infections caused by S @entity55 are rare and are an important cause of morbi-mortality in the newborn and the mother.
