Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Although infectious complications of nephrotic syndrome are common, group B Streptococcus is a rare pathogen in these patients. We present a 4-year-old child with nephrotic syndrome who developed group B streptococcal cellulitis and bacteremia, an association not previously discussed in the literature, and review the factors that predispose patients with nephrotic syndrome to infection. |
