10756101000119107 |Group B streptococcus infection in mother complicating childbirth (disorder)| is stated as a child of 32801000119106 |Infectious disease in mother complicating childbirth (disorder)|, which makes it a descendant of 40733004 |Infectious disease (disorder)|. However, it has an acceptable synonym of "Group B streptococcus carrier in childbirth". So, carrier of B streptococcus in childbirth = to infection of streptococcus B in childbirth. Normally a carrier of a germ isn't an infection by that germ. It's a finding of a risk of infection, here a risk of infection to the baby not to the mother actually.

When you look at the carrier concepts, these are children of 66598005 |Infectious disease carrier (finding)| which are descendants of 105724001 |Disease related state (finding)| and not children of 40733004 |Infectious disease (disorder)|.

Should the modelling of 120001000119107 |Group B streptococcus carrier complicating pregnancy (disorder)| be revised and is it medically ok to have 'carrier' as a synonym of infection for 10756101000119107 |Group B streptococcus infection in mother complicating childbirth (disorder)?
