在过去10年间,美国和欧州各国都有关于新生儿B组链球菌感染的报道,感染所表现的程度差别很大,从轻度的脐炎,到死亡率极高的严重败血症。婴儿罹患的所谓“早期类型”,通常与分娩时感染有关,而且从产母生殖道能分离出同样的细菌。然而这种细菌在怀孕和非孕妇女的泌尿生殖器官中又是极常见的。有关B组链球菌引起宫内死亡和流产的可能性还未得到充分的证明。1961年Ho-od最早提出了有关B组链球菌感染的报告,作者在斯德哥尔摩见到了几例,报告如下。从1970年1月1日至1975年12月31日6年间,两个产院共出生了17638个新生儿,其中117例是晚期宫内死亡。详细复习这些病例,所有病例都由病理学 In the past 10 years, there have been reports in the United States and European countries about group B streptococcal infections in newborns. The extent of infection varies widely, from mild omphalitis to severe sepsis with high mortality. The so-called “early types” of infants are usually associated with childbirth infections and the same bacteria can be isolated from the mother’s reproductive tract. However, this bacterium is extremely common in urogenital organs of pregnant and non-pregnant women. The possibility of group B Streptococcus causing intrauterine death and miscarriage has not yet been fully demonstrated. 1961 Ho-od was the first to report on group B streptococcal infection, the authors saw several cases in Stockholm, the report is as follows. Between January 1, 1970, and December 31, 1975, a total of 17638 newborns were born in two maternity homes, 117 of whom were late intrauterine deaths. Detailed review of these cases, all cases by the pathology
