Neonatal death

20
Q

What are some risk factors for acquisition of syphillis infection

A

New sexual partner
Multiple sexual partner
Having a STI
Partner with STI
High prevalence community
Trading sex for money or drugs
Illicit drug use
Incarcerated

21
Q

How does primary syphillis present?

A

Painless chancre

22
Q

How does secondary syphillis present?

A

Maculopapular rash of the palms, soles, trunk
regional lymphadenopathy

23
Q

How does tertiary syphillis present?

A

Gumma lesions
Cardiovascular abnormalities

24
Q

What are the screening tests for syphilis screening?

A

Nontreponemal test= RPR, VDRL
Treponemal tet= FTA-ABS

25
Q

What is the recommended screening for syphilis in pregnant women?

A
  1. Screen all pregnant women at first prenatal visit
  2. If screening is nonreactive but patient is high risk recommended repeat screening at 28 wks and delivery
  3. If screening is reactive perform confirmatory test
  4. If confirmatory test is reactive syphilis is diagnosed. If confirmatory test is negative you based further management off the type of test that was used.
  5. If nontreponemal confirmatory test used then consider if patient is high risk, if so repeat testing in 2-4 weeks if not then likely false positive
  6. If treponemal confirmatory test used then rescreen with different antigen. If still nonreactive likely false positive.
26
Q

What is the recommendation for high risk syphilis women during pregnancy if they screen negative for syphilis testing?

A

Repeat testing at 28-32 weeks
Repeat testing at delivery

27
Q

What women are considered high risk for syphilis during pregnancy?

A

Unprotected sex with unknown partner
Unprotected sex with multiple partners
Sex worker
Trading sex for drugs
Diagnosed with STI during pregnancy

28
Q

What is the treatment for neurosyphilis?

A

Aqueous PCN G IV 3-4million units q4hrs for 10-14 days

29
Q

What is an alternative for syphillis treatment in pregnant women who cannot be PCN desensitized?

A

Erythromycin 500mg QID

30
Q

What is a potential complication of syphillis treatment with PCN G?

A

Jarisch herxheimer reaction

31
Q

What is Jarisch Herheimer reaction?

A

Febrile reaction that can lead to muscle aches, headaches, hypotension, rash

32
Q

What is the management for Jarisch Heerxheimer reaction?

A

Supportive care

33
Q

How do you monitor disease after treatment of syphilis?

A

nontreponemal test titers
RPR or VDRL titers whichever was used at start of treatment

Early syphilis should receive repeat titers at 6 and 12 months post treatment

Late syphilis should receive repeat titers at 6,12,24 months post treatment

34
Q

How do you interpret treatment response for syphilis?

A

Looking at the titers

  1. If there is a four fold increase in titer from treatment initiation to repeat levels= treatment failure
  2. If there is a four fold decline in titer from treatment initiation to repeat titer level= acceptable response
35
Q

When would you retreat a patient with syphilis in pregnancy?

A

For early infection there should be adequate response to therapy by 12 months. In pregnancy if an adequate response is not seen by 6 months you can retreat

For late infection there should be adequate response to therapy by 24 months. In pregnancy if an adequate response is not seen by 6 months you can retreat

36
Q

Can syphilis be cured?

A

Yes if there are a loss of antibodies that is considered cured

37
Q

What are ultrasound signs of congenital syphillis?

A

Placentomegaly
Hepatomegaly
Ascites
Hydrops
Polyhydramnios

38
Q

How do you determine mode of delivery for HIV?

A

Mode of delivery is determined based on viral load obtained 4 weeks prior to expected delivery

Women with viral load 1000 copies or less= standard obstetric indications

Women with viral load >1000 copies= c-section at 38 weeks gestation

39
Q

What is the intrapartum management for patient with HIV and viral load of <1000?

A
  1. Delivery mode based on obstetric indications
  2. Continue ART therapy during labor
  3. Give IV zidovudine during labor
  4. Avoid ROM, intrauterine monitors, operative delivery
40
Q

What is the intrapartum management for patient with HIV and viral load of >1000?

A
  1. Delivery mode is c-section at 38 weeks
  2. Continue ART therapy during labor
  3. IV zidovudine 3hrs prior to c-section
  4. Avoid internal monitors
41
Q

Which women with HIV should receive zidovudine during labor or prior to c-section?

A

HIV viral load >50 should receive zidovudine prior to delivery

42
Q

What is the recommended dose of zidovudine for HIV patients on L&D?

A

Loading dose of 2mg/kg then 1mg/kg/hr until delivery

43
Q

What is the purpose of delayed cord clamping?

A

Increase iron store and hemoglobin in the infant

44
Q

What is the recommended infant treatment post delivery for women with HIV?

A

Undetectable viral load= zidovudine for 2-4 weeks
Viral load 50-1000= antiretrovirals
Viral load>1000= antiretrovirals

45
Q

Which infants should you give antiretrovirals for HIV prophylaxis in mothers with HIV at time of delivery?

A

Women with primary/acute HIV infection
Not on antiretrovirals during pregnancy
Non adherence to antiretrovirals during pregnancy
Detectable viral load of 50 or more

46
Q

What is the antiretroviral therapy for infants?

A

Lamivudine
Zidovudine
Retalgavir
