Two women in labor received intrapartum spinal anesthesia from the same anesthesiologist approximately one hour apart. Within 15 hours both patients developed Streptococcus salivarius meningitis and one patient died. Blood and CSF from both patients and tongue swab specimens from the anesthesiologist yielded isolates of an indistinguishable S. salivarius strain.
