2011, Pediatrics and NeonatologyCitation Excerpt :Because PROM was the most often seen risk factor in the EOD group, it’s reasonable to speculate that infants in EOD group might aspirate the infectious amniotic fluid to get pneumonia and suffer from respiratory distress soon after they are born. McKenna and lams24 found that LOD usually manifests as neonatal sepsis or meningitis with lower mortality. Our study showed sepsis (54, 68.3%) as the most common manifestation in LOD of GBS infection, followed by UTI (38, 48.1%), meningitis (37.9%), and pneumonia (10.1%).
Infections Related to Pregnancy
2008, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Since then, there has been a 70% reduction in early neonatal infection but no significant impact on the rates of late group B streptococcal neonatal infection [32]. Multiple studies have reported rates of group B streptococcal maternal colonization of 10% to 30%, with repeated screenings during gestation resulting in higher positive culture rates [36,37]. Both rectal and vaginal colonization rates have been studied.
