The incidence and outcome of group B streptococcal (GBS) sepsis were
assessed prospectively between September 2011 and February 2015 in
all tertiary care pediatric hospitals of Switzerland. We describe a
low incidence of GBS early-onset sepsis (0.12/1000 livebirths), and
a predominance of GBS late-onset sepsis (0.36/1000 livebirths), a
pattern which has not been reported in other countries.
