Re: Lyme disease and early pregnancyFrom: ATB28@aol.comFri Oct 11 21:08:28 1996
Peter: I'm not so concerned about exposure at conception, since most would agree that tetracycline affects the deciduous teeth at ~20+ weeks gestation. However, the diagnosis of Lyme disease - in and out of pregnancy - remains poor at best. We have a terrible time with this in New England. Moreover, once diagnosed (by whatever criteria) therapy often necessitates 4-8 weeks of treatment. It is conceivable, therefore, for someone who takes tetractycline in pregnancy for Lyme disease to be on that therapeutic regimen for quite a while. The result may be sufficient exposure to induce changes in the deciduous teeth. Of course, one should ask why an alternative medication is not selected. Allan

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.
