When is an infant diagnosed with SGA?
Time of birth
GBS + mom delivers baby who appears ill. What to do?
Start ppx abx for GBS and get CBC, blood culture, chest x-ray and lumbar puncture (ruling out sepsis, pneumonia and meningitis)
Who should get intrapartum abx for GBS?
1) Previous infant with invasive GBS disease
2) GBS bacteriuria during any trimester of the current pregnancy
3) Positive GBS vaginal-rectal screening culture in late gestation during current pregnancy
4) Unknown GBS status at the onset of labor (culture not done, incomplete, or results unknown) and any of the following:
- Delivery at < 37 weeks’ gestation
- Amniotic membrane rupture ≥ 18 hours
- Intrapartum temperature ≥ 38°C (100.4°F)
- Intrapartum NAAT positive for GBS
A woman with unknown GBS status shows up in labor at 36 weeks gestation. Does she get abx?
YES; if status unknown and < 37 weeks then get abx
Which TORCH infection causes chorioretinitis and diffuse brain calcifications?
Toxoplasmosis
Which 4 TORCH infections can cause microcephaly
VCRZ = Varicella, Rubella, CMV, Zika
TORCH infection that causes cataracts?
CataRacts = CMV and Rubella
These TORCH infections can lead to thrombocytopenai?
tHRomboCytopenia = HSV, Rubella, CMV
These viruses leads to sensorineural hearing loss.
Rubella and Zika
A kid is born and has a blueberry muffin rash, hepatomegaly, and a small head. What is he infected with and what is likely wrong with his eyes?
Rubella. Eyes will have cataracts, glaucoma, retinopathy.
Which three viruses lead to brain calcifications and how are they different?

What are the TORCHZ infections?
Toxoplasmosis, Other (Varicella, Syphilis), Rubella, CMV, HSV, Zika
What makes up APGAR?
Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respirations
What percentile of weight constitutes SGA?
10th
What sorts of things result in symmetrical SGA?
Congenital infections which affect brain development. All small = BAD; head-sparing = good
What is the asymmetric tonic neck response?
Turning the newborn’s head to one side causes gradual extension of arm toward direction of infant’s gaze with contralateral arm flexion–like a fencer.
What is your ddx for absent red light reflex?
Cataracts Opacified cornea (like mucopolysaccharidosis) Inflammation of anterior chamber Developmental anomalies Retinoblastoma
Baby is born to a woman with little prenatal care. He is SGA but head is normal circumference. What is likely cause?
Inadequate nutrition because head-sparing. If head was also small, think TORCHZ.
