Posted August 10, 201113 yr I would like to hear your opinions in regard to starting antibiotics for ROS in preterm asymptomatic infants born due to reasons other than purely maternal (such as c-section for NRFHT, Premature ROM with preterm labor)? 1- Any GA cut off? 2. Based on GBS status and IPA prophylaxis adequacy? Thanks for your response
