Twin pregnancies represent an interesting pattern in which selective infection of one gestational sac over the other can occur. Despite the ubiquity of Group B streptococcus (GBS), only a few cases documenting twin gestational GBS infections have been reported. We describe two cases of gestational GBS infection in twin pregnancies (a monochorionic/diamniotic pregnancy and a dichorionic/diamniotic pregnancy) both resulting in the death of one twin.

Abstract
Twin pregnancies represent an interesting pattern in which selective infection of one gestational sac over the other can occur. Despite the ubiquity of Group B streptococcus (GBS), only a few cases documenting twin gestational GBS infections have been reported. We describe two cases of gestational GBS infection in twin pregnancies (a monochorionic/diamniotic pregnancy and a dichorionic/diamniotic pregnancy) both resulting in the death of one twin.
