Group B Strep (4) Introduction: Dura Schlei, United States

29 June, 2026

Hello - my name is Dura Schlei and I'm a mom to three children - Spencer, Saylor, and Iris. In 2023, our daughter Saylor contracted late-onset Group B Strep Meningitis two weeks after she was born. Unfortunately, she ended up passing away almost a month later.

Happy to share my experience in the coming week.

Thank you for adding me to this community!

Regards,
Dura
