Resumo: | Neonatal sepsis due to group A Streptococcus is rare and has a high associated mortality. The case of a 14-day-old female neonate who presented to the Emergency Department with feed refusal and hyporeactivity is reported. The girl was born at 36 weeks of gestation and had an unremarkable pregnancy and birth. Peripheral white blood cell count was 18.100/mm3 with 81% neutrophils, and C-reactive protein was 13.6 mg/dL. Urinalysis, cerebrospinal fluid cytochemical examination, and chest X-ray were normal. A multisensitive group A Streptococcus was isolated in the blood culture and ten-day course of ampicillin was completed. Urine and cerebrospinal fluid cultures were negative. All co-inhabitants were tested for the presence of group A Streptococcus antigen in the oropharynx, which was positive in a two-year-old cousin. Group A Streptococcus is an uncommon neonatal sepsis agent. Transmission in the community through a carrier should be considered. This case highlights the importance of infection preventive measures for the newborn at home. |

É descrito o caso de um recém-nascido do sexo feminino, com 14 dias de vida, que recorreu ao Serviço de Urgência por recusa alimentar e hiporreatividade. Este tinha nascido às 36 semanas de gestação, tendo a gravidez, parto e período neonatal decorrido sem intercorrências. Entre os exames realizados destacamse a contagem leucocitária de 18.100/mm3 com 81% de neutrófilos, proteína C-reativa de 13.6 mg/dL, e exame sumário de urina, exame citoquímico do líquor e radiografia torácica sem alterações. Por isolamento de Streptococcus do grupo A na hemocultura, o recém-nascido cumpriu dez dias de ampicilina. A cultura do líquor e urocultura foram negativas. Foi pesquisada a presença de antigénio de Streptococcus do grupo A na orofaringe em todos os conviventes, sendo positiva numa prima com dois anos. O Streptococcus do grupo A raramente é descrito como agente de sépsis neonatal e a sua transmissão na comunidade através de um portador deve ser considerada. Com este caso, pretende reforçar-se a importância das medidas de prevenção da infeção nos cuidados de puericultura no domicílio.Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto2019-04-11T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.25753/BirthGrowthMJ.v28.i1.14558eng2183-9417Ventura, AnaRúbio, CatarinaRodrigues, DiogoSilva, InêsPeres, AnaCunha, Florbelainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-21T14:55:30Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/14558Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:56:26.911196Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
