Familial segregation of group B streptococcal infection in a consanguineous kindred
Two cases of neonatal group B streptococcal (GBS) infection occurring in a large consanguineous kindred are described. The observation suggests that susceptibility to isolated GBS disease in this family may have been the result of an inborn error of immunity inherited as a Mendelian autosomal recess...
