The membranes were intact until just before delivery, and death occurred within 2 hr of birth, but well-established changes were present in the lungs, placenta and mediastinal lymph-nodes, which showed a “monocytoid” reaction. The organism was isolated from both mother and baby and was found to belong to serotype 4b. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-1-1-97
