Streptococci group B infection

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Fiona's problems still haven't been solved. The rash on the bum is almost gone,

but the tummy aches are still there. Today we got the results from the anal swab

and it showed heavy growth of Streptococci group B.

A search for Streptococcus group B and CF wasn't successful, but I found many

hints to the risk for newborns when the mother has a strep infection.

Questions:

What antibiotic can you recommend for a five year old to eradicate the strep?

According to the lab it's resistent to Cefclor (our standard drug against

Fiona's staph), Clarithromycin, Augmentin, Cipro and many more.

Can the strep be the reason for Fiona's tummy ache (Becky already told me so)?

Fiona has already lost two pounds since Christmas and she never had enough

weight to give :-((

Do we have to worry about our baby on the way? Silke is five months pregnant.

Torsten,

Unless Silke gets the infection then the baby will be fine. Usually the

infection doesn't affect the baby until birth and it is in the birth canal. As

for the meds, try her usual routine and see if that kicks it.
