All info I >can find about herpes and c-sections relates to genital herpes lesions only. > This among the most stupid advice I have ever seen from and obstetrician (if true). It rates very close to a woman I saw years ago who had been advised to have a CS if there was active disease at time of labour - her lesions were close to the hair line - a transverse SP incision would have only avoided the area with difficulty.

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.
