De spite adequate antibiotic treatment, the infant died within 24 h after birth bec ause of respiratory failure. Conclusion: Although rare, infection may occur in t he perinatal period and SSSS may present within the first 24 h of life. In this situation, early administering of appropriate antibiotics is essential.
