Re: Chlamydia/GC cultures/probesFrom: Braun, R. Daniel (rbraun@iupui.edu)Wed Mar 10 11:58:20 2004
You get GC on your Thin prep????? Dan Our GC Probes are reported in 1-3 days. "Sound is like water. If you drill one hole in the wall the sound will leak right through." - JAY BRAUN, a band member by love, a soundproofer by necessity. -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Dr. Ainsworth Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 5:51 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Chlamydia/GC cultures/probes I recently had a positive GC on a patient whom I suspected PID on. I treated her at the time with azithromycin 1gm, then 250 qd x4d, but did not treat her partner. The DNA probe, which I did with her Thin prep pap came back positive for GC 2wks later, and I am quite concerned about the delay and have communicated my concerns to the pathology group. I will now retreat her and her partner with 2gm of azithromycin, per CDC recommendations. I had started using the Thin prep collections for GC and chlamydia because it seemed convenient to do at the same time as the pap and hadn't looked at the turn around time until this positive came back. What kind of turn around are others getting on their GC/chlamydia probes/cultures and which techniques are you using?

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.
