Abstract
Much attention has recently been focused on the increase in neonatal morbidity and mortality from non-group A beta hemolytic streptococcal infections. The vast majority of these infections have been identified as members of group B; however, neonatal meningitis and/or sepsis due to groups C, D, E, and G have been reported.1-4 A case of group F septicemia has been noted by Nyhan and Fousek,5 but no details of the case were discussed. The following case documents the development of an intrauterine pneumonia after premature and prolonged ruptured membranes associated with Group F streptococci.
