Abstract
We present a case of false-positive pneumococcal urinary antigen test (UAT) during an invasive infection caused by Streptococcus constellatus. This can be explained by cross-reactivity with capsular polysaccharides C of commensal streptococci, which can lead to possible identification errors. UATs are important diagnostic tools, but they must be interpreted cautiously.
