Re: beta strep screeningFrom: rbraun@indyunix.iupui.eduThu Nov 7 18:36:04 1996
I would like to hear comments from the list re: 2 recent articles. Patel, Leblanc, Morrison et al South Med J 1994;87:1117 Out of the U. of Mississippi & Siegel and Cushion Obstet Gynecol 1996;87:692 Out of Parkland These both deal with postnatal penicillin G to the neonate to prophylax against early onset GBBS. In both studies, the single dose to the newborn reduced the incidence of early onset GBBS by 50%. This is similar to the results reported with culturing and then treating colonized mothers during labor. Cost $0.17 per delivery. That is cost not charge. Can anybody out there get a culture for $17.00 ??? @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ R.

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.
