Grateful to those who are recognizing and researching #groupBstrep infection in utero! #pogbsd
Prenatal-onset #groupBstrep disease is often overlooked or not recognized, discounting the thousands of parents who have lost babies who were infected by GBS in the womb. We want to change that! Visit gbsi.me/prenatalonset for further info on these and other knowledge-based prevention strategies.
