What Happens When A Doctor Does not Treat Indications Of GBS In An Infant
March 9, 2010 by Hanna08
Infants with a group b streptococcus infection at the outset tend to demonstrate indicator which can be non-specific for GBS. This why physicians should take into account it in the differential diagnosis when indication that could be from a group b strep Infection can be found in an infant. A number of cases have followed a physician’s failure to do this and parents whose infant was hurt under a similar situation ought to seek the advice of a birth injury attorney right away.
For instance, in one documented case a pediatrician who examined a six week old baby having a high fever did not take a full history from the mother and failed to bother to review the prenatal records. Those records showed that the mother had tested positive for GBS during the pregnancy. The pediatrician therefore based her plan to hold off on administering any antibiotics to the baby until she could get back test results on incomplete data. Without| the critical item of facts the statistics were that the baby’s signs were from a different cause. As a result the infant became septic, developed meningitis and suffered strokes. This left her with mental retardation and seizures which are not treatable with medication. The mother and father pursued a medical malpractice claim and the law firm that handled the matter reported that they achieved a settlement in the amount of $6,150,000 for the family.
You should check with a physician without delay in case you believe your child has a health problem and seek the advice of a medical negligence attorney in the event you believe your baby was harmed due to a mistake by a doctor or other wellness care professional.
I was referring to a tepid bath as a bedbath or child’s plastic tub where you can control the child. How do you know that children have no pain from seizures? Are you an infant undergoing febrile seizures? Docs say all kinds of things to make parents feel better. Same was true of circumcision. Everyone I know who can talk says they hurt afterwards. Even cats cry out afterwards from the muscle pain. I wish they would take your video off.
cipro would be bad choice it is nearly no effect on strept
Thank you for the update!
It's possible that Beth (incredibly coincidentally) IS really sick, and what follows after she threw up the pill is due to real illness. The convulsions/blacking out David described can be attributed to high fever. I had these spells when I was a child, and so did one of my kids.
Well, I used to like Paul. Leave our Ty alone!
And what's with Sal being all gracious with Ashley. That ain't like her.
(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) Scientists supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, have completed a phase II clinical study that indicates a vaccine to prevent Group B Streptococcus infection is possible.
Hey pretty baby wit the high heels on, u give me fever like I've never, ever known… #RIPMJ
Go to the ER. It's either amoxicillian resistant strep and her test was a false-negative or you have something fungal. I wouldn't wait until morning when the ER is more crowded – go now.
