Abstract:Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics, perinatal risk factors, drug resistance, treatment and regression of neonatal group B streptococcus (GBS) invasive infection. Methods: Clinical data of 54 neonates, who were admitted to the department of neonatology from January 2014 to June 2020, diagnosed with GBS invasive infection by sterile lacunar culture of blood and cerebrospinal fluid were collected and their perinatal risk factors, clinical manifestations, in vitro drug sensitivity test results, treatment and return were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Of 54 infants with GBS invasive infection, 28 had early-onset infection and 26 had late-onset infection. GBS was detected in both blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples in 13 cases, while GBS was detected only in blood in 36 cases and only in cerebrospinal fluid in 4 cases. Early-onset infections had cyanosis, groaning, shortness of breath and fever as the main symptoms, and were prone to pneumonia, and a small number of them have purulent meningitis. Late-onset infections had fever and poor feeding as the first symptoms, and were easily associated with purulent meningitis. The proportion of early-onset intrauterine infection was higher than late-onset, with significant difference (P<0.05). Three newborns who died had one or more perinatal risk factors. GBS drug susceptibility results showed 100% sensitivity to penicillin, ampicillin, vancomycin, and linezolid. After treatment, 47 cases were cured and discharged, 4 cases were discharged unhealed (due to family give-up), and 3 cases died (all early onset, with fatality rate of 5.5%). The average length of hospital stay was (25.5±15.6)d. Conclusion: For neonates with invasive GBS infection, laboratory pathogenic examinations should be performed according to the clinical characteristics as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis. Penicillin should be the first choice, and combined with other antibiotics to fight against the infection according to the condition. Perinatal risk factors may be important for neonatal GBS infection. GBS screening and intrapartum antibiotic prevention (IAP) measures for pregnant women can effectively reduce the incidence of neonatal GBS infection.
