[The return of severe infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes].

Two patients with severe group A streptococcal infection associated with a toxic shock-like syndrome are described. Both isolates produced the pyrogenic exotoxin B. Since 1987 there have been many reports of these severe streptococcal infections. In order to know the incidence in the Netherlands, isolates from patients with severe streptococcal infection have to be serotyped (types of M-protein) and tested for streptococcal toxin production, and serum antibody levels have to be determined.

[A child with pneumonia caused by a multiresistant pneumococcus].

Strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae resistant to penicillin have not previously been reported in The Netherlands. Now we have to report the isolation in November 1988 of a multiresistant pneumococcus (minimal inhibitory concentration 2 mg/l) from sputum of a three-year-old child from Poland. We advise isolating patients from abroad (Spain, Poland) in hospital and checking their bacteriological status to prevent introduction of penicillin resistant pneumococci into the Dutch population.
