The incidence of inflammation among patients suffering from cervix cancer with positive beta haemolytic streptococci cultures from genital tract

ConclusionsPositive cultures of BHS from the genital tract were demonstrated to occur in patients with cervix cancer. Complications were found during radiotherapy in 30 (27%) of these patients, including 20 (18%) patients suffering from clinical symptoms of inflammation. When beta-lactam antibiotics are not recommended because of allergy, sensitivity tests to other drugs are necessary.
