chlamydia culture - psych80

[ArchivalUser]

somebody made a post recently about wether or not chlamydia cultures are done routinely in pregnant patients or not ..

how would you screen for asymtpmatic bacteriuria?

[ArchivalUser]

i think by routine urinalysis in prenatal check up.

if urine culture >100,000 colonies then + for Asy bacteriuria..

[ArchivalUser]

thats what i thought

but plain urinalysis cannot pick bacteria

100k cfu can only be checked in cullture

so routine culture is recommended

[ArchivalUser]

ye thats true..thanks

urinalysis for protiens, glucose, ketones, RBC, WBC, casts etc.

both urinalysis and culture to be done ..

I asked about chlamydia culture by cervical culture,not urine culture,so my q is whether cervical culture for chlamydia is routine in pregnancy?
