Weston, M.D.: "Re: Group B strep" "The CDC guidelines in the U.S. state that vaginal culture alone is unsatisfactory and that both vaginal rectal cultures are required. We have a single device that has 2 swabs tied together. You put 1 in vagina and 1 in rectum at the same time and then put into the transport container." in our experience we were comparing the results of taking the two both samples and the vaginal one, since we didn't find statistical differences, we left the rectal sample. -- --------------------------------------------- Francisco L.

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.
