Article information

Streptococcus agalactiae (S agalactiae) is a germ habitually associated with infections in neonates and women during the pregnancy and the immediate puerperiumum. S agalactiae has also been related with bacteriemias, endocarditis and bone, joint, skin and soft tissues infections in adults with concomitant diseases and even in immunocompetent patients. In the last years more than 70 cases of septic arthritis in adults due to this germ have been communicated. We present 2 cases of axial and peripheral joint infection due to S agalactiae, comparing finds, treatment and evolution with the cases published until April 2008.

Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) es un germen habitualmente asociado a infecciones en neonatos y en mujeres durante el embarazo y el puerperio inmediato. S. agalactiae también se ha relacionado con bacteriemias, endocarditis e infecciones osteoarticulares, de piel y tejidos blandos en adultos con enfermedades concomitantes e, incluso, en pacientes inmunocompetentes. En los últimos años se han comunicado más de 70 casos de artritis séptica por este germen en adultos.

Se presentan dos casos de infección articular, axial y periférica, por S. agalactiae, comparando los hallazgos, el tratamiento y la evolución con los casos publicados hasta abril de 2008.
