Invasive group B Streptococcus disease in early infancy increased the risk for psychiatric disorders through adolescence. Infants with meningitis showed a higher cumulative incidence for these disorders than those with sepsis. Premature birth, maternal gestational diabetes, and low maternal education were further shown to elevate this risk.
