maternal hep BFrom: Richard Chudacoff, MD (rchudacoff@mylinuxisp.com)Mon Sep 29 17:54:37 2003
Interesting discussion today in the doctors lounge: 6-month-old infant develops fulminate hepatitis and liver failure. Noted to have Hep B. Records reviewed noted that mother was Hep B positive, but this was not acted upon by OB. Aunts and grandmother are also Hep B positive-none with active hepatitis. Infant never received hep vaccine in hospital, or by pediatrician. Fingers have been pointed. Who, if anyone, has the majority of the responsibility, and why did the checks and balances (vaccination in hospital, review of records, pedi vaccination) fail? Any comments?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
