Today we discussed a case of presumed choramnionitis with beta-hemolytic strep bacteremia. I have previously blogged about GBS here and peripartum GAS infection here.
This article, while basic, is a reasonable review of the role on parenteral antibiotics in peripartum women with fever. I would probably choose slightly different antibiotics if giving more than one/two doses. This article discusses the differential diagnosis of peripartum fever.
This cochrane meta-analysis questions the practice of peripartum prophylaxis in known GBS patients... I'm still convinced it is a good idea.
