Re: GBSFrom: Larry Glazerman (l.glazerman@rcn.com)Mon Aug 15 10:55:54 2005
CDC recommends treating "unknown" GBS based on risk factors. One risk factor is <37 weeks, so the CDC recommendations would support treating unknown at <37 weeks. Are you folks treating unknown GBS at >37 weeks without other risk factors? That would be contrary to CDC and ACOG guidelines _____ From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Len2976@aol.com Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 11:34 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: GBS In a message dated 8/14/2005 3:39:35 PM Eastern Daylight Time, eramirezt@coqui.net writes: I have been critized fittingly, by treating "unknown GBS status" - also ---once positive for GBS - always treat regardless of future "negative" cultures In our facility we ALL would have treated this patient. First because she was less than 37 weeks and second because the GBS status was unknown. I know CDC does not advise treating patients with "unknown GBS status, " but every provider in our facility does exactly that. Lenora McCall, CNM

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.
