dc.description.abstractStreptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) was firstly reported as a toxon among human streptococcal pathogens in the year 1996. Diseases caused by SDSE may vary from milder skin involvements including wound infection, erysipelas, and cellulitis to life-threatening clinical pictures as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis. We describe a case of SDSE sepsis and meningitis in a 2-day-old newborn. He was referred to our intensive care unit (ICU) with fever, respiratory distress, seizures, peripheral cyanosis, and somnolence. SDSE grew out of the CSF and blood cultures obtained on admission to the ICU. SDSE cases reported in the literature are frequently older patients with an underlying disease. Also, SDSE may cause serious neonatal infections.en_US
