hi Jan, how are you? I miss you! Ive just looked through my lecture notes and found one reference to GBS - here it is Btromberger et al. 2000. The influence of intrapartum antibiotics on the clinical spectrum of early-onset group B streptococcalinfection in term infants. Paediatrics. Vol 106 No.2 August 2000 pp244-249. My notes also state 0.5-1% of neonates of gbs pos mothers develop s&s of gbs infection - of these 75-90% occur within the first week of life (most within the first 6 hours of life). Neonatal mortality -8 of 49 cases in 1998. Not sure if these stats are in the article? Hope this helps a little. love Jess
