| | GROUP B STREPTOCOCCUS |
 | | The experience with group B streptococcal disease was analyzed at one medical center over a ten-year period from 1975 to 1984. | | | Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Our purpose was to evaluate the current practice of antimicrobial prophylaxis of preterm and low-birth-weight infants and to determine the impact of intrapartum fever, group B Streptococcus carriage, intrapartum antimicrobial therapy, and duration of membrane rupture on neonatal therapy. | | | The majority of pediatricians (82.6%) felt that intrapartum prophylaxis would reduce early-onset group B streptococcal sepsis, but only 46.0% felt overall neonatal sepsis would be decreased by such therapy. |
