I am 14 weeks pregnant. vaginal swab gbs++; cervix closed, ffn neg, but wbc 14, 200 (neutr 75%); no symptoms. tx: oral abs. how likely is chorioamnionitis?

Depends on the situa: Gbs in a common germ found in 1/3 female genital tract at any time.Gbs requires an open access point to get to baby through leaking membranes, if not, the germ cannot infect baby.If mom is gbs + during labor, she will get meds iv. They used to give oral meds years ago to try to get rid of it in gbs+moms but found the practice unreliable & ineffective.Contact your OB for any signs of labor.

Chorioamnionitis: Hard to tell because it depends on your previous history of such problem if you had one. Based on the data provided, your risk would be considered regular.

Why the tests: The ffn test is not recommended prior to 22 weeks. In pregnancy, the WBC count typically has a slight elevation and 14000 could be normal. Why the early gbs culture? Unruptured, neg gbs, no symptoms, low risk of chorio.
