description	Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus or GBS)is an exceptionally rare causative organism of a ruptured renal abscess. We report a case of this normally commensal organism causing a large ruptured renal abscess in a 17-year-old postpartum female. Although S. agalactiae is known to cause postpartum neonatal morbidity and mortality, it has rarely caused invasive infections in the last 20 years in adults. While this diagnosis often presents with nonspecific findings that can easily be overlooked during the postpartum period, the patient responded well to the established treatment of broad-spectrum antibiotics and a percutaneous drain.
