In a reported lawsuit an OB/GYN delivered an infant whose mother was preterm. The OB/GYN did not give antibiotics while the mother was in labor although it is commonly acknowledged in the medical community that, under such circumstances, the administration of antibiotics considerably lowers the possibility that the newborn will be infected with Group B Strep The infant became infected with group b streptococcus resulting in septicemia, extreme hypotension, and a brain hemorrhage with internal shunt. As a result, the infant is affected with developmental delays. The law firm that took this case published a settlement in an amount in excess of $7.0 Million.
