Maternal treatment with pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine and folinic acid (leucovorin) during 2nd & 3rd trimesters
Neonates treated w/leucovorin

54
Q

other (syphilis/Hep B) Maternal/Preg Affects

A

HEPATITIS B - Preterm labor &/or delivery, Stillbirth

SYPHILIS - Can cause spontaneous abortion, fetal death, and congenital syphills

55
Q

other (syphilis/Hep B) Fetal Affects

A

HEPATITIS B - Vertically transmitted-Infants infected at birth have 90% risk of becoming a carrier, 25% risk of
developing significant liver disease 90-95% of those infected are symptomatic
SYPHILIS- Fetal infection may involve multiple organs and can cause fetal growth restriction, non-immune hydrops, and increases risk of premature birth. May also be asympotmatic at birth; symptomatic in 1st 3 months

56
Q

other (syphilis/Hep B) Nursing Considerations

A

HEPATITIS B -Neonatal treatment isHBV vaccine (within 12hrs of birth, at 1-2 months & 6-18 months) •HBV immunoglobulin (HBIG) plus vaccine if mother is a carrier or HbsAG+ •All pregnant women are screened prenatally
SYPHILIS -Infected newborns are treated w/PCN over 10-
14 days•AAP states that no newborn be discharged without knowing mother’s serologic status for syphilis•
Provide support to parents related to their feelings about how infection was transmitted

57
Q

Rubella Maternal/Preg Affects

A

transmitted across placenta

infection during 1st trimester can cause spontaneous abort

58
Q

Rubella Fetal Affects

A

more severe disease if acquired in 1st trimester

cns/heart defects, stillbirth, jaundice, cataracts

59
Q

Rubella Nursing Considerations

A

isolate exposed neonate

vaccine contraindicated during preg., vaccine after delivery, do not become preg within 1st 4 weeks

60
Q

Cytomegalovirus Maternal/Preg Affects

transmitted across placenta at birth or thru breast-milk

only 1-5% develop symptoms (malaise)

61
Q

Cytomegalovirus Fetal Affects

no trt for infants
90% unaffected
mr 5-15% w/hearing loss, microcephaly

62
Q

Cytomegalovirus Nursing Considerations

A

good hygiene
isolate infected infants
no effective drug therapy

63
Q

Herpes Simplex Virus Maternal/Preg Affects

A

Type I: Non genital type, although can infect genital area
Type II: Genital type; more often associated with
neonatal disease. Causes painful vesicle lesions on maternal external genitals, buttocks, cervix

64
Q

Herpes Simplex Virus Fetal Affects

A

Greatest risk is from maternal primary infection at birth; 85-90% acquired at time of vaginal birth•Acquired post-natally through oral lesions, breastfeeding,
and from other infected infants• Mortality of 50-60% if neonatal exposure is w/active primary infection• W/congenital transmission: SGA, low birth weight, diffuse
brain damage, microcephaly and intracranial calcification

65
Q

Herpes Simplex Virus Nursing Considerations

A

Neonates treated w/acyclovir x2-3weeks; topical ophthalmic drug in addition to IV therapy•
Prevention: if positive lesions or culture at time of
delivery –cesarean section•Avoid routine use of scalp electrodes during labor•Strict hand washing for mothers with active infections•Contact isolation w/infected infants•
Educate parents on precautions to use after discharge

66
Q

HIV transmission

A

intravenous drug use #1 route of transmission

perinatal transmission through trans-placental during delivery or breastfeeding

67
Q

HIV maternal/preg affects

A

preterm l&d

s/e from arv & haart drugs

68
Q

HIV fetal affects

A

perinatal transmission
IUGR
asymptomatic at birth (antibodies 1-18 mos)

69
Q

HIV nursing considerations

A

Antepartum•Use of ARV/HAART usually after week 14•
Prevention of opportunistic infection
Intrapartum•ACTG 076 Protocol: (mother) AZT 2mg/kg IV over 1 hour, then 1mg/kg IV continuous infusion until cutting of cord. •Avoid procedures that increase the risk of perinatal transmission, such as amniocentesis, and fetal scalp sampling by minimizing fetus/neonate’s exposure to maternal blood and body fluids.•Trend toward scheduling cesarean birth prior to the onset of labor decreases transmission to 2% (depending on viral load). Women should be counseled and supported in their decision
Postpartum•Monitor mother for signs of infection; restrict breast-feeding•Instruct mother on how to avoid the spread of HIV•Provide supportive care.•Mother will continue her anti-retroviral meds as prescribed.•Administer PO AZT or ZVD to neonate as prescribed.•AZT 2mg/kg P.O. q 6hrs x 6 weeks 8-12 hours after birth•Current guidelines suggest testing newborn within 48 hours of birth, at 1-2 months and 3-6 months of age. •Diagnosis is confirmed with two positive tests on two separate blood draws
Psychosocial support•Disclosure of a woman’s HIV status to family/significant other can put her at risk for domestic violence, rejection•Requires assistance in identifying coping strategies and managing day to day life

70
