Abstrakt		Streptococcus agalactiae, also called Group B Streptococcus (GBS), is a common pathogen in the neonatal period that can cause early- and late-onset infections. The most common manifestations are bacteremia without an apparent focus of infection, pneumonia and meningitis. Additionally, GBS can rarely cause early- and late-onset infections with uncommon manifestations. If they go unrecognized, they may lead to inappropriate treatment and increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. In this article, a case report of an infant with early-onset GBS bullous impetigo is presented together with a short review of other uncommon manifestations of GBS infection.
