re: Just found out my premie has CAH and so scared and dont know what to do... Dec. 10th, 2003 6:38am
Jonathan got the strep B virus the night after he was born. They rushed him to the PICU and treated him, but it was almost a month before they caught the CAH. His potassium levels were high and they looked for reasons for it. Jonathan wasn't treated for the CAH for quite a while during the time his little body was ravaged by the strep b. In almost every case I've heard of where CAH was even suspected, they give hormones. The hormones won't hurt if there isn't CAH there, so it's generally a safe precaution.
