Group B strep (GBS) is
a bacteria naturally found in the digestive tract
and birth canal of 1 in 4 pregnant women. These women “carry” or are
“colonized” with GBS. However, GBS can come and go at any time so each
pregnancy can be different. Babies can be infected by GBS before birth and up
to 6 months of age because of their underdeveloped immune systems. GBS most commonly
causes infection in the blood (sepsis), the fluid and lining of the brain
(meningitis), and lungs (pneumonia). It can cause babies to be miscarried,
stillborn, or die after being born. Some GBS survivors have permanent
handicaps such as blindness, deafness, mental retardation, and cerebral
palsy. Visit SilverSpringCenter.com’s
Health Page for more information on GBS Disease. |
