Okay folks, what would you do with this one??

Now, I know that 'normally' we don't treat GBS in women who have it vaginally on a routine misc type culture. What would you do for a woman who complains of burning, and this is the ONLY organism that can be identified by anyone (wet mounts neg, etc)?

Okay, what about a not sexually active (very shy) 15 year old, who complains of burning. Occasionally pick up a few yeast and EVERY misc aerobic had shown Many GBS. In addition to treating the yeast, and giving her a yeast cream to use externally, she's tried: ampicillin, Metrogel, peroxide washes, instructions about hyguine, and still the cultures come up + Is anyone considering this a pathogen and have you found anything that works? A similar situation would be someone with E-coli.

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.
