Abstract
A case is reported of fulminant early-onset group B streptococcal septicemia and delayed-onset congenital right-sided diaphragmatic hernia in a neonate. The latter condition should be considered when early-onset group B streptococcal disease is followed by increasing respiratory distress, right-sided pleural effusion and partial or complete opacification of the right side of the thorax.
