If sepsis becomes severe and hemodynamic compromise advances, the systolic pressure also decreases, causing a narrowing/decreasing of pulse pressure. [ 23 ]
GBS-LOD starts between 7 and 90 days after birth. [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 ...
