StrongStep® Strep B Antigen Rapid Test
Strep B
Infection with Strep B (know for Group B Streptococcus), can cause serious illness and sometimes death, especially in newborn infants, the elderly, and patients with compromised immune systems. Between 5% and 30% of all pregnant women are colonized with Strep B. Several recent studies have shown that the intrapartum treatment of Strep B -colonized women significantly reduces the incidence of Strep B -caused sepsis. Thus Strep B screening is of vital importance.
