Early Childhood Neurodevelopmental Outcomes After Early Infant Invasive Group B Streptococcal Infection in Uganda

20241 citationOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

In this Sub-Saharan African population, survivors of infant GBS sepsis were more likely to have impaired neurodevelopmental and growth outcomes compared with children who did not have GBS sepsis. GBS sepsis survivors should be included in long-term follow-up programs to monitor for neurodevelopmental difficulties and initiate early referrals to support services.
