J Infect Dis 2004 Sep 1;190(5):928-34 (ISSN: 0022-1899) Lin FY; Weisman LE; Azimi PH; Philips JB; Clark P; Regan J; Rhoads GG; Frasch CE; Gray BM; Troendle J; Brenner RA; Moyer P; Clemens JD National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-7510, USA. link@exchange.nih.gov. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The present study estimates the level of maternal immunoglobulin (Ig) G ------------------------------------------------------------------------ anti-group B streptococcus (GBS) type III required to protect neonates -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ against early-onset disease (EOD) caused by this pathogen. Levels of maternal serum IgG anti-GBS type III, measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in 26 case patients (neonates with EOD caused by GBS type III) and 143 matched control subjects (neonates colonized by GBS type III who did not develop EOD) of > or = 34 weeks gestation were compared. The probability of EOD decreased with increasing levels of maternal IgG anti-GBS type III (P = .01). Neonates whose mothers had > or = 10 microg/mL IgG anti-GBS type III had a 91% lower risk for EOD, compared with those whose mothers had levels of < 2 microg/mL. A vaccine that induces IgG anti-GBS type III levels of > or = 10 microg/mL in mothers can be predicted to offer a significant degree of protection against EOD caused by this pathogen.

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.
