I would go by the most recent culture. However, I would also make the patient aware and if her level of anxiety was high and she requested treatment, I would.

You have a positive GBS rectovaginal culture done (for whatever reasons)at 34 weeks - a reculture done at 36 weeks comes out negative - Urine culture negaive - would you treat if she comes into labor at 37 weeks?

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.
