Re: CCS- Acute Cystitis
bingousmle - 06-17-10 15:58 it looks like a case of acute cystitis though i think you should modify your treatment as the patient is pregnant.. giving her TMP SMZ could hurt her baby.. best is to put her on a course of 7 day amoxycillin and if allergic to penicillins i would choose nitrofurantoin....
seniors who have taken step 3 CCS please comment..
