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. :)
strep
Subject: strep

should strep be capitalized? how about rapid strep test?
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!

Hello again, just read your post on the s/l and that helped me. Here is how some docs break down the different categories of mental status exam--
Mental status exam
-Intellectual functions
A. Sensorium
1. Orientation to ....(person,place, time and situation)

I believe he is stating the word sensorium and I think I would use it because it would apply and that is what it sounds like. Listen for that again later. And here is one link on mental status exam that you could read through (is a powerpoint presentation so just slides, but easy to look at because is concise and brief with just key words) and let me know! Good luck!
