strep
Subject: strep
I am not sure which way to type this.
Doc wants to check throat cultures to rule out strep. The pt has a UTI.
There are so many streps in the dictionary.
Strep
Subject: Strep
I always just type streptococcus (in italics) because they really cannot rule out the type until the tests are done. I haven't got one back yet. :)

Subject: strep

About Strep
Subject: About Strep
Does anyone know when it's proper to capitalize strep and when not to? I see it both ways in the dictionary. As in "he has a strep throat" or "diagnosed with group B strep," etc.
Thanks!
strep
Subject: strep
This is from a previous response by MQQA to a similar question.
If he is referring to strep throat, then that would be lower case. A specific type of strep, i.e. group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus is the genus here) would be capitalized.
Always capitalize genus names and their abbreviated forms when accompanied by a species name

Subject: kid with strep: prednisolone 15 s/l NT... NT ?? what is the NT?
Prescription for prednisolone 15 __ dispensed quantity sufficient 1 teaspoon p.o. x2 days.
also? it actually sounds like "quantefficient" ... rather than quantity sufficient.

Strep - capitalized
Subject: Strep - capitalized
I always thought Strep was supposed to be capitalized - it's the species, and the subspecies was typed with all small letters.
More and more, I'm seeing Strep typed with a small 's", and it comes up okay in our dictionary with a small "s". Am I incorrect?
Thanks!

GROUP B STREP IN DIAGNOSIS
I'm confused on group B strep in a diagnosis. My research tells me that group B and group beta strep are interchangeable; however, on a recent audit I was counted off because I typed group beta Streptococcus in the diagnosis. Was corrected that it should be: group B Streptococcus. Anybody know which is correct? Thank you!

Doc says culture soft showed staph egg negative.
I know this is crazy. I have never done this doc before and he mumbles "BIG TIME".
My two questions in this sentence is the word after culture. It sounds like he is saying culture soft. My next question is staph .... sounds like egg.. or staphcoegg.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I guess I need to stop for tonight. To late on a Sunday night to try and understand a new doc.
