不久以前,美国儿科学会要求所有孕妇都进行B族链球菌的检测。B簇链球菌感染十分常见,母亲被B族链球菌感染后可将其传染给胎儿,或在生产时使婴儿受感染。每年美国因B族链球菌感染而死的新生儿达2200多名。受到B族链球菌感染的母亲常无任何症状,因此,不进行特殊检测难以发现。

Not long ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics required all pregnant women to be tested for Group B Streptococcus. Streptococcus cluster B infections are very common, mothers infected with Group B Streptococcus infection can be transmitted to the fetus, or in the production of infants infected. More than 2,200 newborns die of B streptococcal infections each year in the United States. Mothers who are infected with Group B Streptococcus often have no symptoms and are therefore difficult to detect without special testing.
