examples transplacental organism infections
-HIV
-CMV
-rubella
examples organisms ascending into vagina to cause infection
-GBS
-E coli
examples organisms that cause infection from direct contact at birth
-herpes
perinatal infections risk factors
-h/o multiple sex partners
-previous h/x of STI or vaginal infections
-employment with high exposure to children
general S+S STI
*flu like S+S for mom, plus:
-vaginal discharge
-genital lesions
-dysuria
-painful intercourse
lab studies perinatal infections
-antibody titers
-TORCH
-VDRL
-RPR
-gonorrhea
-vaginal wet mount
which maternal immunoglobulin passes through the placenta? which does not?
passes: IgG
doesn’t: IgM
possible consequences of all infections
-abortion
-IUGR
-premature labor
-severe neonatal sepsis
-long-term carrier status
what is screened for on TORCH
Toxoplasmosis
Other (syphilis, gonorrhea, hepatitis, varicella, HIV)
Rubella
CMV
Herpes simplex
how is toxoplasmosis acquired
raw meat
unpasteurized milk
exposure to cat feces
classic triad in neonate presentation of toxoplasmosis
-hydrocephalus
-chorioretinitis (blindness)
-cerebral calcifications
possible maternal effects of syphilis
-chancere
-late abortion
-positive abx screen (VDRL, RPR)
possible fetal effects of syphilis
-stillbirth
-hydrocephaly
-cataracts
-**copper colored rash
-cracks around mouth
-hypothermia
Tx syphilis
-penicillin G
-erythromycin before 16 weeks
screens for syphilis
VDRL
RPR
S+S congenital rubella (severe anomalies if infection before 12 weeks EGA)
-blueberry muffin rash
-IUGR
-cardiac defects
-cataracts/glaucoma
-hearing loss
possible neonatal consequences of CMV
-IUGR
-microcephaly
-jaundice
-anemia
-deaf
-mental retardation
-rash
-hepatosplenomegaly
-cerebral palsy
possible consequence untreated hep b
preterm birth
what baby receives immunoglobulin for hep b after birth
mom had hep b surface antigen positive
possible consequences for fetus if mom has varicella zoster (chicken pox) before 20 weeks EGA (early transplacental transmission)
-limb atrophy
-neurologic anomalies
-IUGR
-eye abnormalities
high risk exposure time for fetus with varicella zoster? what can happen?
-last 3 weeks pregnancy (close to birth)
-neonatal varicella
-increased infant mortality rate
if women are exposed to varicella zoster when should they receive immunoglobulin (Vzig)? what about baby?
within 72 hrs
baby: 5 days before - 2 days after birth
S+S HPV
small or large wart like growths on vulva, vagina, cervix, or rectum
possible fetal effects of HPV
possible chronic resp papillomatosis
can herpes simplex virus be transmitted transplacentally
very rare
usually contracted during birth from lesions
optimal mode of delivery if mom has active lesions from herpes simplex virus
C/S
possible consequences for babies born with congenital herpes simplex virus
-neonatal viral sepsis
-herpetic lesions on eyes, skin
-pneumonia
-herpes enchephalitis
-neurological abnormality
-possible death
Tx babies born with congenital herpes simplex virus
acyclovir
