Streptococcus pneumoniae as a cause of cellulitis is rarely reported in children and adults. We report on an infant with facial cellulitis due to pneumococci and review already described cases since 1975. The main features of this infection, underlying diseases and problems of diagnostics and therapy are discussed.
