Birth Infections and Medical Negligence
Infections, if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, can pose significant risk to a developing fetus as well as the mother. While some birth infections are unavoidable, some are the result of medical malpractice. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a birth infection that may have been the result of negligence on the part of your obstetrician or other medical personnel, it is important to explore your legal options.

Most birth infections can be effectively treated with antibiotics if detected early on. It is the responsibility of doctors, nurses, hospital labs and other medical professionals to recognize the warning signs of infection and take appropriate action.
Common birth infections include:
- Listeria
- Toxoplasmosis
- Herpes
- Hepatitis B
- HIV
- Urinary tract infections
- Group B streptococcus
Group B Streptococcus
One of the most common birth infections is Group B streptococcus, a bacteria that can be transmitted from mother to a developing fetus. This infection can lead to a number of pregnancy complications, including premature labor, urinary tract infections and fetal distress.
