Re: Echinococcal cyst in pregnancyFrom: GA12L@aol.comTue Feb 28 12:58:48 2006
In a message dated 28/02/2006 17:34:58 GMT Standard Time, Darryl.elrod@LAKENHEATH.AF.MIL writes: Treatment options appear to be mebendazole or albendazole for 3-6 months. Both of these are listed as Category C drugs and Reprotox shows possibly some benefit of mebendazole over albendazole, but mostly for first trimester exposure. Sorry to butt in here but I'll think you'll find that there is no place for mebendazole or albendazole in pregnancy, as these can be embryotoxic, teratogenic and/or hepatotoxic. Has she got any pets or been in contact with animals? I believe that an MRI scan and treatment after birth is preferable. Gail

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.
