What Affect Will Be On A 20 Week Old Fetus Whose Mother Is Septic With Streptococcus Pyogenes ?
How will a mother being septic with streptococcus pyogenes affect a 29 week old fetus?
Wed, 18 Jan 2012
hi,
Streptococcus pyogenes is not known to be transmitted to the fetus. However the fetus can get infected while passing through the birth canal at the time of delivery. The fetus is directly affected by a high fever produced by the organism. infection can be controlled effectively by antibiotics. Hope that answers the question
Take care
