65% in 3rd trimester
(Thulsi 80% in third trimester)
Recurrent infection -1-2%
Ultrasound picture of fetal CMV?
Bilateral periventricular calcification
Neurodevelopmental damage in CMV?
10-15% (majority initially asymptomatic)

What is the most likely infectious cause of symmetrical fgr?
CMV
IOL at 35/40 for fgr with reduced EDF, what is the baby most at risk of out of: aki, hepatsplenomegaly, meconium ileus, pneumonia, polycythaemia?
Polycythaemia (because try to increase rbc to improve oxygen delivery, therefore also at risk of hyperbilirubinaemia)
Mortality of severe sepsis with organ dysfunction?
20-40%
Mortality of sepsis with septic shock?
60% (persistent hypoperfusion despite adequate ivi)

Mortality of severe malaria?
50%, vs 15-20% nonpregnant, 2-10x increase. (Malaria twice as likely generally in pregnant vs nonpregnant)
Malaria chemoprophylaxis?
Mefloquine 1st line unless epilepsy or psych hx, then give malarone = atovaquone proguanil. Doxy (teeth, cataracts, bone growth) and primaquine (haemolysis) CI. Continue mefloquine 1/12 after.
Side effect of quinine?
Hypoglycaemia
Ix for neonate after malaria in pregnancy?
Blood film at birth and weekly for 28/7 (if peripartum do placental histology)
