Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Group B streptococcal (GBS) infection in the neonate is the most common infectious cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. There is much confusion in the literature regarding screening and treatment for this disease. The authors review recent literature on perinatal GBS infection and present their clinical opinions in favor of routine screening during pregnancy. Treatment protocols for the GBS positive mother, as well as the infant delivered of a GBS positive mother are considered. |
