I don't think the CDC directly addressed this issue in the 1996 guidelines. They did not list carriage in a prior pregnancy as an indication to treat. However, you gotta admit that it would make a you a little nervous not to treat a woman who was a carrier in a prior pregnancy.. There are false negative cultures.

Anybody want to get informed consent and let the patient decide?

Anyone care to wager on what the she would want?

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.
