Streptococcus pneumoniae is a rarely recognized cause of neonatal sepsis. We report invasive pneumococcal infection in three neonates. The infections were abrupt, severe, and rapidly progressive in two neonates with fatal outcome despite antibiotic therapy. There was no identifiable risk factor. Maternal colonization should be further studied.
