Of 74,920 babies live born in Oxford between 1985 and 1996, 41 (0.5 per 1000 95% CI 0.4-0.7) developed definite, culture confirmed, early onset (< 48 hours) group B streptococcal infection and 32 (0.4 per 1000 95% CI 0.3-0.6) developed probable infection (sepsis plus colonisation). There was no significant variation in incidence with time. The mortality from definite infection was 19.5%, and from probable infection 6%. These data suggest that the incidence of group B streptococcal infection in Oxford is considerably lower than that reported in the USA.
1985年至1996年间在牛津出生的74920名活产婴儿中,41名(每1000例中有0.5例,95%置信区间为0.4 - 0.7)发生了确诊的、经培养证实的早发型(<48小时)B族链球菌感染,32名(每1000例中有0.4例,95%置信区间为0.3 - 0.6)发生了可能的感染(败血症加定植)。发病率随时间无显著变化。确诊感染的死亡率为19.5%,可能感染的死亡率为6%。这些数据表明,牛津的B族链球菌感染发病率远低于美国报告的发病率。
