Prenatal-onset iGBS
Prenatal-onset Group B Strep Disease (POGBSD) occurs before labor and delivery and includes miscarriages and stillbirths caused by group B strep. POGBSD is invasive GBS disease (iGBS) that infects the baby in the womb before early-onset prevention protocols would be effective.
This type of GBS disease is often overlooked or not recognized, discounting the thousands of babies who have been lost or harmed by GBS before birth. We want to change that!
