Objective To describe the epidemiological characteristics of invasive group B streptococcal (GBS) infection among infants during the past 4 years in Guangzhou, in order to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of the disease. Methods Medical records of infants with invasive GBS infection from two tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou from January 2012 to December 2015 were reviewed. Results There were 120 infants with invasive GBS infections during the past 4 years in two tertiary hospitals, the number of patients increased from 2012 to 2015, and the occurrence of infectionshad no obvious seasonal tendencies. Among infants with EOD, the most common syndrome was sepsis complicated pneumonia (46.3%), respiratory sign and at least one of perinatal risk factors were commonly recorded, and the mortality rate was 7.4%. By contrast, a higher proportion of late-onset cases manifested as sepsis associated with meningitis (42.4%), fever was the most common presentation and 42% LOD cases accompanied by neurological symptoms, 14.6% infants had neurological sequelae. Conclusion The number of GBS-infected infants increased during the past 4 years in Guangzhou. Relevant departments should pay attention to the prevention of neonatal GBS infection, strengthen the management of high risk newborns to improve the prognosis.
