Epilepsy risk is elevated in those infected with invasive Group B Streptococcus (iGBS) meningitis, but not sepsis, in early infancy, according to a cohort study in Denmark. The study found a cumulative epilepsy risk of 3.6% for the first 22 years of life in infants with either iGBS meningitis or sepsis compared to a control group’s 2.3% rate. The vast majority of the increased risk, however, occurred solely in the first five years of life. Notable subgroups with higher risk included boys, preterm infants and children born to mothers with lower incomes.

Women with epilepsy have worse perinatal outcomes, including a 5-fold increase in maternal death, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis. They had increased odds of various issues, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, induced labor, and cesarean delivery. Neonates born to women with epilepsy had an increased risk of negative outcomes such as neonatal and infant death and congenital conditions. Women with epilepsy taking ASM polytherapy had increased odds of cesarean delivery, and neonates had a higher risk of NICU admission, SGA, and congenital conditions. Clinicians should consider these findings when counseling pregnant women with epilepsy.
