<< 1) If a patient has been treated for carriage state in a prior pregnancy would you treat her in subsequent pregnancies? ?

Yes. Carrier status doesn't always culture pos. If you culture her neg, fail to treat, and then her baby gets GBS; legally & guilt-wise you are fried.

<<2) If a GBS neg mom is ruptured 18+ hrs, would you treat her?

Culture first and then treat. What caused the rupture?? At least if baby gets sick you have a culture done for the Peds.

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.
