First, rule out ROM with SSE/ferning. Assuming ruled in, then...

Check if sensitivites were run on the GBS. If so, treat with erythro or clinda, as indicated by sensitivity.

If not, assess whether the PCN allergy is high risk for anaphylaxis or low.

If low risk, Keflex

If high risk Vanco.

We run sensitivities on patients with PCN allergy only, but sometimes this step gets omitted.

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.
