 Patient is a 13-year-old male with a  
past medical history of rheumatic  
fever and ---- strep-reactive   
arthritis?   
   
I am not sure about any of it really  
after the rheumatic fever to the   
reactive arthritis.  The blank, I   
don't know if it is a stuture or  
not, but sounds like "spin".  TIA

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

  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. :)

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

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!
