Why GBS Infection Might Lead To Birth Injury Case
Infants are vulnerable of significant problems if they develop an infection. A baby’s immune system is not wholly developed to help them protect against the infection.
A especially dangerous infection is caused by the group b strep bacteria. It has the potential to be responsible for the development of pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis which can lead to brain damage and possibly to the passing away of the baby.
Part of the problem is that the group b strepbacteria can be passed from the mother to her child. Consequently physicians ordinarily screen expectant mothers before labor and if the test reveals that they carry the bacteria an antibiotic is administered in the course of labor.
A Group B Strep law firm can assist you in figuring out if a physician is liable for malpractice for the injuries your infant sustained due to Group B Strep.
