cicatrial scars **
limb hypoplasia **
micropthalmia, microcephaly

19
Q

GBS neonate:

1) Classify by onset
2) Type of transmission
3) Manifestations

A

1) Early (>7d)
Late (>7d)

2) Early: vertical
Late: Vertical or horizontal

3) Early: PNA, septicemia, meningitis

Late: Meningitis, OM, ST infections, sepsis

20
Q

Indications for intrapartum GBS proph

A

Positive GBS Cx (35-37 wks)

Unknown GBS and :

  • hx infant w GBS
  • GBS UTI
  • Deliv <37 wks
  • ROM >18
  • Maternal fever
21
Q

Congenital HSV: clinical manifestations

A

Skin, eye, mouth (45%)
- 10-12 DOL

Encephalitis (30%)
- 16-19 DOL

Disseminated (25%)

  • 10-12 DOL
  • sepsis lik, multi organ
22
Q

Suspected congenital HSV disease: Dx

A

Culture/PCR of :

1) Vesicle
2) eyes
3) urine
4) stool
5) blood
6) CSF

DO LP even if clinically well.

23
Q

Suspected congenital HSV disease: Tx

A

▫ IV acyclovir 60 mg/kg/day

  • -> Isolated mucocutaneous disease: 2 weeks
  • -> Disseminated, CNS disease: 3 weeks

▫ If CSF PCR positive, repeat LP towards end of treatment

▫ PO acyclovir: x 6 mo improves neurologic outcome for those with CNS disease

24
Q

Factors affecting HSV transmission

A

1) Type of maternal infection & serostatus (1st primary (high), 1st episode non-primary (medium), recurrent (lower)
2) ROM >6h
3) Fetal scalp monitor
4) HSV 1 vs 2 (31% vs 2.7%)
5) C/S reduces risk

NB: majority of HSV infant –no maternal hx of genital herpes

25
Q

HSV: asymptomatic infant of mother with active lesions at delivery : Invx?

A

1) Sample from mouth, NP, conjunctiva, and anus at ~24h of life for culture/PCR
2) Maternal serologies (HSV-1 or 2) – recommended by some, not always available

26
Q

HSV: asymptomatic infant of mother with active lesions at delivery : Tx?

1) 1st ep SVD (or CS before ROM)
2) 1st episode: C/S no ROM
3) Recurrent episodes

A

1) 1st episode SVD or (CS after ROM)
- –> emp IV Acyclovir
- –> 24h swab +ve : full w/u + tx
- –> 24 swab -ve: 10d IV Acyclovir

2) 1st episode: C/S, no ROM
- –> NO emp IV Acyclovir
- -> if 24h +ve: full wu + tx

3) Recurrent episodes
- –> NO emp IV Acyclovir
- –> If 24h swabs +ve: ful w/u + tx

27
