Abstract

In the period 1985-94, 237 out of 575,248 (0.41 per 1000) live born infants in Norway were reported to suffer culture-confirmed systemic group B streptococcal disease before their 90th day of life. The annual incidence increased from 0.20 per 1000 live births in 1985 to 0.64 in 1994, due solely to an increase in cases with an onset before the seventh day of life. Future studies should address the possible causes of this increase.
