I was GBS positive and it was no big deal, although I/Vs are not my favorite (because of the swelling from fluids, mainly). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interpreting-group-b-strep-results#post-1153185 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:37:00 +0000 Mrs. J 1153185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interpreting-group-b-strep-results#post-1152738 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 11:19:36 +0000 catomd00 1152738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>isolated is a positive result. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interpreting-group-b-strep-results#post-1151208 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:54:34 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1151208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are gbs positive and will need antibiotics at delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interpreting-group-b-strep-results#post-1151206 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:53:48 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1151206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: Oh maaaaan. That's what I was afraid of... Lame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interpreting-group-b-strep-results#post-1151181 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:45:42 +0000 kiddosc 1151181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CULTURE: Group B Streptococcus Isolated - This means that they were able to isolate (identify) the bacteria. I would take this as a positive result. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interpreting-group-b-strep-results#post-1151156 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:37:53 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1151156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I got my Group B Strep results back (online, which is how I always get feedback), and I'm so freaking confused. It says:</p> <p>SPECIMEN DESCRIPTION: Vaginal-Rectal<br /> SPECIAL REQUESTS: Not Penicillin Allergic<br /> CULTURE: Group B Streptococcus Isolated<br /> CULTURE: This is considered a significant result. Clinical correlation is indicated.<br /> REPORT STATUS: Final 10/15/2013</p> <p>What does this meeeean?! There's a column for "Standard Values" but it's all blank... I thought it'd be a "positive" or "negative" result... I'll call once I'm able to get out of work, just figured I'd see if anyone here knew! </p>
