MARTINEZ-MONTALVO, Carlos Mauricio; CORTES, Camilo y AREVALO-ROMERO, Andrés. A pneumonia complicated by an unusual germ: Case report. Infect. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.4, pp.255-258. ISSN 0123-9392. https://doi.org/10.22354/in.v24i4.885.
Streptococcus pseudoporcinus in a germ of the Beta hemolytic group, similar to Streptococcus agalactiae, with low incidence in the production of infection, and isolated in most of cases from the genitourinary tract of pregnant women and related to maternal and fetal complications; the reports in the literature as infection outside this site are unusual. We describe a case of one 48-year-old man with a low respiratory tract infection with a pneumonic collection and a complicated parapneumonic effusion, requiring antibiotic management and thoracostomy drainage. Isolation of a Streptococcus pseudoporcinus. There is no report in the literatura as a cause of infection in this anatomical site.
