22
Q

periventricular calcifications, intrauterine growth restriction, developmental delay, microcephaly, sensorineural hearing loss, retinitis, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, hypotonia

A

CMV

23
Q

Histologically: presence of enlarged (cytomegalic) cells that have dense “owl’s eye” basophilic inclusion within the nucleus

A

CMV

24
Q

Dx of Congenital CMV

A

presence of CMV in the infant’s urine during the first week of life

25
Q

Transmission of HSV to baby

A

Perinatal (contact with vagina during delivery)

– Contact after rupture of membranes
– Direct contact with affected areas
– **Transplacental infection is rare **

26
Q

Clincal manifestations of congenital HSV 1 and 2 are rare:

A

microcephaly, ventriculomegaly, spasticity, echogenic bowel, hepatosplenomegaly, and _flexed extremities _

27
Q

special dx of newborn with congenital HSV

A

HSV antibodies appear during the first weeks after infection and persist for life

or

Tzanck smear : multinucleated giant cells and viral inclusions

28
Q

Definition: painless cervical shortening or dilation leading to pregnancy loss

how to tx it:

A

Cervical Insufficiency

tx: Cervical Cerclage

29
Q

Risk factors of cervical insufficiency

A

– collagen abnormalities – uterine anomalies
– prior obstetric trauma – mechanical dilation
– prior 2nd trimester loss

30
Q

Defects of organs or body parts due to an intrinsically abnormal developmental process where a structure is not formed, partially formed, or formed in an abnormal fashion

A

Fetal Anomalies

risk:

– Chromosomal
– genetic abnormalities

– exposure to teratogens

31
Q

Dx of fetal anomalies of seen during:

A

etal ultrasound during second trimester

tx varies depending on anomalie; some tx after birth, in utero or not compatible with life

32
Q

chorioamniotic membrane rupture before the onset of labor in pregnancies at less than 37 weeks of gestation

A

Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM)

33
Q

Risk factors for PPROM

A

Risk factors
– preterm labor
– short cervix
– advanced cervical dilation

34
Q

Dx of PPROM

A

Diagnosis: direct visualization of fluid and ferning on microscopy

35
Q

36
Q
  • Labor/Birth between 20 weeks and 36 6/7 weeks
  • # 1 cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in developed countries
A

preterm labor

37
Q

Risk factors for preterm labor

A

– premature activation of the maternal or fetal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis

– exaggerated inflammatory response/infection – abruption
