33
Q

why does primary genital herpes infection during pregnancy constitutes a higher risk for perinatal (fetal and neonatal) transmission than recurrent infection?
(30% to 60% vs. 1% to 3%)

A
  • reduced or no transplacental passage of protective HSV specific antibodies
  • neonatal exposure to the virus in the genital tract may be increased
  • genital viral shedding is of higher concentration and longer duration (15 days)
  • cervical shedding also occurs
34
Q

how to determine whether an HSV lesion is primary or secondary

A

IgM and type-specific IgG HSV antibodies may be ordered, previously infected mother will have circulating IgG antibodies

35
Q

Neonatal HSV infections can be classified as

A

disseminated disease (25%); CNS disease (30%); and disease limited to the skin, eyes, or mouth (45%)

36
Q

complications of neonatal HSV

how to tx?

A

viral sepsis, pneumonia, and herpes encephalitis, which can lead to neurologic devastation and death
-IV acyclovir as soon as infection is suspected

37
Q

do what for women who are screened for VZV titers and are negative prior to conception

A

give varicella vaccine (Varivax); it is a live virus vaccine that is highly immunogenic and therefore contraindicated in pregnancy to avoid transmission to the fetus

38
Q

Congenital varicella syndrome

A

skin scarring, limb hypoplasia, chorioretinitis, and microcephaly.

  • typically btw 8-20 wga
  • higher risk if closer to term
39
Q

Infants of mothers who develop varicella disease within 5 days before delivery or 2 days after should also receive ?

A

VZIG and/or treatment with antiviral agents such as acyclovir or valacyclovir

40
Q

If a susceptible pregnant patient is exposed to someone with varicella, how to treat ?

A

within 72 to 96 hours
VZIG (does not prevent transmission of the disease to the fetus)
-alternative:oral acyclovir (800 mg, five times daily x7) or oral valacyclovir (1,000 mg, TID x7)

41
Q

Parvovirus diagnosis

A

IgM and IgG to determine prior exposure vs active infection

  • if IgM positive: serial US
  • Doppler velocimetry to examine the peak systolic velocity of the middle cerebral artery (MCA); Increases in peak systolic velocity are associated with fetal anemia
  • if anemic, cordocentesis should be performed to determine the fetal hematocrit; perform intrauterine blood transfusion
42
Q

CMV diagnosis

A

negative to positive or a significant increase (greater than fourfold, e.g., from 1:4 to 1:16) in anti-CMV IgG titers is evidence of infection
-IgM titers may not be positive during an acute infection, or they may persist for months after the primary infection
