Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Streptococcus pneumoniae is an uncommon etiologic agent in soft-tissue infections.

CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 35-year-old Caucasian woman who presented to our facility with puerperal pneumococcal mastitis, and review the only other three cases of pneumococcal mastitis described in the medical literature.

CONCLUSIONS: The roles of the various pneumococcal vaccines in preventing this disease are discussed.
