A Few More Specific Group B Strep QuestionsFrom: Noelle (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 23 Sep 2002 16:28:32 -0500 (CDT)
Again, the same mom who wrote “Researched Group B Strep” and “Higher Risk for Group B Strep” who is at 36 weeks of her first pregnancy, tested positive, and afraid (but desperately trying to limit my posts to two questions, . . .). 1. Do most GBS affected babies come from a mom who has actual symptoms of the bacteria: fever, UTI, etc.? Are their lab tests more “positive” than others? (If so, why isn’t that qualified in the lab data?) 2. One of the forum doctors wrote, “in the hospital the baby would be evaluated clinically and bacteriologically so treatment and follow up would be properly ensued.” What tests does this involve, so that I can assure my baby is tested in the same way? And yet again, thank you so very much! Sincerely, Noelle
