Home call service: YesGroup B Streptococcus is one of those bacteria that normally resides in the small intestine, rectum, urethra, and vagina of humans without developing symptoms or disease. Its existence is transitory. It is not a sexually transmitted infection. As a rule, it does not pose a danger to pregnant women, however, it poses a danger to the child during childbirth or in the period before childbirth.
When the mother carries group B streptococcus, newborns may develop a streptococcal infection within the first week after birth: pneumonia, septicemia, or meningitis. There is also a risk of further complications.
Group b streptococcus is detected by routine antenatal testing. The research material is a vaginal or rectal smear. It can also be detected in urine. The study is conducted at 35-37 weeks of pregnancy.
Detection of group B streptococcus in pregnant women is very important in order to provide timely treatment and prevent infection of the newborn and further complications.
Risk factors for the development of group B streptococcal infection in newborns:
premature newborn
Amniotic fluid spillage before 37 weeks
Prolonged labor (18 hours or more)
Fever during pregnancy
Acute streptococcal infection experienced during previous pregnancies
Detection of group B streptococcus in urine during pregnancy
Detection of group B streptococcus in vaginal smear within 5 weeks before delivery
Symptoms of neonatal group B streptococcal infection
noisy breathing (snoring)
Irregular breathing or difficulty breathing
Drowsiness, suppression of food
Vomiting
Difficulty maintaining adequate temperature (overheating or hypothermia)
Paleness or redness of the skin
Atony of limbs
Treatment
Group B streptococcal infection is treated with intravenous antibiotic therapy, with antibiotics of the penicillin group, the dosage and duration of which is decided by the attending physician.
Late manifestation of group B streptococcal infection in newborns
Unfortunately, antibiotic therapy started during pregnancy or during childbirth sometimes does not give proper results and the newborn develops symptoms of streptococcal infection later. The disease begins with a sharp rise in temperature, vomiting, and withholding food.
Group B streptococcal infection cannot be completely prevented, however, with early detection and timely treatment, the risk of complications is lower.
