Re: Echinococcal cyst in pregnancyFrom: Dr Eberhard Lisse (el@lisse.NA)Tue Feb 28 21:23:31 2006
Glen, there is a serology test for echinoccocus which I would still do even on histological confirmation to be able to confirm rising/falling titers. I consider dissemination VERY BAD news. The conventional wisdom in pregnancy, by the way, is to pack the abdomen with swabs soaked in hypertonic saline to collect any spills and to wash out the cyst with hypertonic saline. Difficult to do in this particular situation. The problem is that you have to treat her and that the treatment is toxic. Have you got access to infectious disease/tropical medicine for advice? el on 3/1/06 12:46 AM Elrod, Darryl G MAJ 48 MDOS/SGOBO said the following:

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.
