Brief Summary:
Streptococci group B GBS is a the major reason for morbidity and mortality in neonates It can present as pneumonia meningitis or sepsisThe mortality today is 5-20 and even more in preterm babies
During the past two decade the introduction of protocols for prophylactic antibiotics for women with a high risk for GBS infection have led to a decline of 65 in GBS cases032 for 1000 live birth compared to 18 cases in 1000The purpose of the study is to check the morbidity and mortality at Sheba medical center in the last 12 years in children with positive blood culture for GBS We assume that in our hospital the morbidity and mortality is less then expected If proven right we would then check the reasons for that outcome considering the type and length of treatment and the different virulence of the streptococcus
