Abstract EN

Puerperal group A streptococcal infections, a major postpartum killer during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, have become (fortunately) rare.

We describe a cluster of 4 serious peripartum group A streptococcal infections occurring within the past five years at a single medical center.

These cases were not epidemiologically linked and serve to illustrate the continuing risk of these potentially fulminant infections.
