[4] [12] [14] [22] Roughly 50% of newborns of GBS-colonized mothers are also GBS-colonized and (without prevention measures) 1-2% of these newborns will develop GBS-EOD. [14] [24] The most common clinical syndromes of GBS-EOD are sepsis, pneumonia, and (less commonly) meningitis. Pneumonia and sepsis are frequently seen together or sequentially.
Intrapartum prophylaxis is a strategy for "the secondary prevention of early-onset GBS disease in newborns" that could lead to EOS. [33] The Sepsis Risk Calculator (SRS) is meant to be another clinical measure that physicians can use in conjunction with physical examination. [22]
Played a part in causing the 2003 RCOG risk-based guidelines on the prevention of early-onset group B Strep infection, and continues to campaign for improved guidelines and awareness in medical professionals. [11] Raised significant public awareness of group B Strep and the impact a group B Strep infection can have on newborn babies if not ...
Roughly 50% of newborns to GBS colonized mothers are also GBS colonized and (without prevention measures) 1–2% of these newborns will develop EOD. [32] In the past, the incidence of EOD ranged from 0.7 to 3.7 per thousand live births in the US [3] and from 0.2 to 3.25 per thousand in Europe. [18]
A GBS vaccine is currently being tested but not currently available. Vaccination is estimated to being able to prevent 4% of GBS infections for preterm births and 60–70% for neonatal GBS infections in the US. The projected benefits of maternal vaccination is the prevention of 899 cases of GBS disease and 35 deaths among infants.

It can occur when the mother has a pre-existing disease or becomes infected during pregnancy. Nutritional ...
The condition is most commonly seen in kittens with type-A blood born to mothers with type-B blood since type-B cats form very strong anti-type A antibodies. The condition is less common (and less severe) in type-B kittens born to type-A mothers. It can be prevented by blood typing the mother and kittens.
