Re: GBS, positive or not From: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net) Wed Nov 30 17:02:01 2005 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: ainsron: "Re: Dr.Klein, where are you" Previous message: Efrain Ramirez: "Vaginal Sterilization" In reply to: igold@cox.net: "GBS, positive or not" You need to be sure the request to the lab is for group B strep, not a routine vaginal culture. Reporting of other organisms is a sure sign the lab either misinterpreted or ignored the order. Ronald E.

I think I remember not, but don't usually see it reported this way, so I want to confirm. Thanks.

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.
