Twenty-one cases of acute glomerulonephritis in children with no previous history of renal disease were studied. Urinary infection with a rising titre of serum agglutinins against the organisms isolated from urine was found in 5 cases. No evidence of previous streptococcal infection was found in these cases. In the meantime all 8 cases with post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis remained without bacteriuria. In one case acute glomerulonephritis followed virus hepatitis, and in the remaining 7 cases the cause of glomerulonephritis was unknown. It is suggested that in predisposed patients the bacteria present in urinary infections might act as antigens starting immunologic reactions in the glomeruli, leading to glomerulonephritis. The final proof of this theory awaits immunofluorescence identification of these antigens in the glomeruli.

During 1984-5 this continuing survey showed that 41 infections occurred in the staff of 193 laboratories, representing 23,043.5 person years of exposure. The community was the probable source of two cases each of hepatitis A and B, one of tuberculosis, two of campylobacter enteritis, and 12 of Norwalk viral diarrhoea. Occupational exposure was the probable cause of six hepatitis B infections (affecting haematology, biochemistry, and microbiology staff), three of tuberculosis (affecting mortuary and morbid anatomy workers), seven shigella, three salmonella (including one typhoid) and one pseudocholera infection (all in microbiology medical laboratory scientific officers), and a streptococcal infection in a mortuary technician. An episode of hepatitis of uncertain cause affected a carrier of hepatitis B. The incidence of reported infections of all types was 178 per 100,000 person years (91 for infections of suspected occupational origin). The highest incidence was in morbid anatomy and mortuary workers, followed by microbiology medical laboratory scientific officers.

A systemic streptococcal infection in cultured bullfrogs in Brazil was characterized by necrotizing splenitis and hepatitis with hepatic and renal hemorrhage. A non-hemolytic Group B Streptococcus appeared to be the cause of the lesions, and the stimulus for the splenic reticuloendothelial hyperplasia observed in the animals. Stress may have been a factor in the development of the pathological condition.

Scarlet fever is a streptococcal infection with a good prognosis. Complications are well described. Hepatitis is a rare complication. We describe a 6-year old boy with scarlet fever, jaundice and elevated liver transaminases.

Streptococcal bacterial species represent common inhabitants of the intestinal tract of animals and humans with a potential for opportunistic infections. Streptococcosis has been identified in turkey poults ( Meleagris gallopavo), ducklings and goslings (Anatidae), broiler chickens, semimature-adult chickens ( Gallus gallus domesticus), and young and adult pigeons (Columbidae). However, the exact underlying factors that lead to bacterial invasion of the blood stream and tissue colonization have not been completely elucidated. The electronic database of the California Animal Health and Food Safety laboratory (Fresno, Tulare, and Turlock branches) was searched for necropsy cases in which streptococcosis was diagnosed in different avian species between January 2000 and August 2017. A total of 95 cases, involving both commercial operations and noncommercial premises, were analyzed. Streptococcus spp., Streptococcus bovis, and Streptococcus gallolyticus were identified from multiple organs, with macroscopic or histopathologic lesions (or both) indicative of septicemia in 23 (24%), 40 (42%), and 30 (32%) cases, respectively. Streptococcus pluranimalium and Streptococcus lutetiensis were also isolated from one (1%) and two (2%) cases, respectively. Turkey poults, broiler chickens, and ducklings were the most-commonly affected species with streptococcosis. Splenitis and hepatitis were the most-common lesions observed and these were the organs with the highest isolation rate. An overview of the clinical and pathologic presentation, and possible predisposing conditions associated with this bacterial infection, is provided.
