Abstract
The authors report 3 cases of young infants with B streptococcal cellulitis revealed by submandibular inflammatory induration. The clinical findings, similar to the cases reported in literature, were characteristic, due to the infants' ages, the aspect and localization of the cellulitis. Bacteriologic diagnosis relies on blood cultures and aspiration of the lesion.
