Sometimes, when there's no "usual" vaginitis, you can culture for the dominant organism (which could be GBS, E. coli, whatever) and treat for IT specifically and get a pretty good response. Some people, esp. diabetics, are more prone to GBS infection... vaginitis is not all that uncommon.

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.
