Next in thread: GA12L@aol.com: "Re: Hospital is a safe place to give birth..." Interesting article. I've never seen streptococcal TSS, but I did see two cases of staphylococcal TSS back in 1979 while in residency (made the initial diagnosis on the second one). Neither was tampon-related. One was a 16-yr-old girl who got it as a post-op complication to knee surgery for a subluxating patella, and the other was a post-menopausal NY Times Magazine reporter who was in town visiting her brother for Thanksgiving and came down with it out of the blue. She didn't get back to NY til after Christmas and then as a direct transfer to a rehab hospital, minus all her fingers and several toes. Scary stuff. I still say it's possible that there was another pt. on the same unit at the hospital in FL with the same strain of strep and the hospital is scared. Why else would it involve another patient's confidentiality? -- Anna Meenan, MD At Mon, 23 Jan 2006, RModugno@aol.com wrote: > Oh Gail, and by the way, since you've never seen >it, here's the scoop on GABS infections: > >_eMedicine - Toxic Shock Syndrome : Article by Sat Sharma, MD, FRCPC, FACP, >FCCP, DABSM_ (http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2292.htm) > >Robert Modugno MD MBA FACOG >Marietta, GA Next message: Grace Loehr: "Re: Hospital is a safe place to give birth..."

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.
