The options are all listed in the first post cpeed.
This question is on the RCOG site in their bank of questions. Click here for the link. Essential reading as they are repeated!!
You should come on one of our courses you know - we give good advice  |
Yeah, I did look *up* now ! Saw the first post-- in fact ; obviously as mentioned in my previous post; the answer is definitely B-- VZIG to mother if her serology negative. Just wanted to amke sure Mili and I were on the same page with respect to the options!
(The main stem which Mili mentions is a little bit different from the one mentioned in the first post.--I wanted to know if there were any different options.!  |

Mrs Jones is seen in the antenatal clinic at 40 weeks. She has a cough and smokes 20 cigarettes per day. She has a rash and feels generally unwell.
As regards this question
IV acyclovir is indicated because of smoking, cough, feeling unwell. The oral acyclovir is only indicated if the rash appeared without other symptoms.......this is what was agreed on the EMQ course |

Yes and remember:
- oral only if presents within 24 hours of the rash
- acyclovir is not licensed for us in pregnancy
I think you give iv at any stage regardless of the time delay as it still ameliorates the disease porocess and the benefitrs outweigh the risks. |
