Pregnant women, part of the term service population at Orlando Regional Medical Center, were screened for group B streptococci (GBS), using Lim Group B Strep Broth (GIBCO Laboratories, Madison, Wis.) and the Phadebact Strep B Test (Pharmacia Diagnostics, Piscataway, N.J.). Of the 803 women screened, 173 were confirmed as colonized with GBS at the time of admission in labor. Eighty of these women were treated with ampicillin at least 6 h prior to delivery. The remaining 93 women received no ampicillin. None of the infants born to the treated women was colonized with GBS at surface culture sites. Forty-three of the infants born to untreated women were colonized. Rapid identification of GBS colonization in women, combined with ampicillin chemoprophylaxis, significantly reduced vertical transmission of GBS.

An 88-year-old male presented at a high-risk foot service with a non-healing, plantar wound on his right foot, which had the appearance of a neuropathic ulcer. On further examination, the lesion was confirmed asymmetrical in shape and atypical in appearance. It also presented with surrounding violaceous, pigmented nodules in the arch of the foot, and several small, similar nodules on the plantar surface of the contralateral foot, giving the appearance of an exophytic lesion and suggesting melanoma. Following biopsy, it was diagnosed as classic Kaposi sarcoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
