Group B streptococcus: perinatal considerations.
Group B streptococcal (GBS) infections are responsible for significant perinatal morbidity and mortality in the United States. It has been proposed that to prevent neonatal sepsis, all pregnant women be screened for GBS colonization, and that intrapartum antibiotics be used in certain high-risk situations. These recommendations are controversial, as is the current management of the asymptomatic newborn of a GBS-colonized mother.

Trauma in pregnancy.
Trauma is the leading cause of nonobstetric maternal morbidity and mortality in this country. Maternal survival does not guarantee fetal survival, even in cases of apparently minor trauma. The injured pregnant patient presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Physicians who make obstetrics or emergency medicine part of their practice must be aware of these unique problems. Prevention of traumatic injury should remain the focus of office practice.
