<<GBS cannot be treated...it is a colonization and prophylaxis is given intrapartum.>>

We know that... but a colonized woman with ROM should be Rx'd to prevent intrauterine infection, with possible fetal sepsis (which has been described) or amnionitis. Of course, there are no RCTs on this that I know of, but we're talking about a possible fatal illness...

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.
