        Help!  

Question
Answer
Occupational exposures...   organic solvents, radiation, chemotherapeutic agents, aerosolized meds, pesticides, acrylic nail or grooming, lead  
🗑
Radation   <5 rads is believed to be okay  
🗑
Lead   greatest concern for neurobehavioral development  
🗑
Occupational exposure to solvents (in general)   Spontaneous abortion, neural tube defects...association is controversial  
🗑
Methylmercury   CNS abnormalities (microcephy, seizures, mental retardation, cerebral palsy)  
🗑
Infectious agents   Viruses, vaccines, bacteria, parasites, zoonoses  
🗑
Congenital infections common features:   fetal or newborn death, livera nd spleen enlargement, low birth wt, anemia and/or low platelet count, small head size, skin rash, jaundice  
🗑
Congenital infections: common features (cont.)   blindness and/or deafness, brain calcifications, seizures, hydrocephalus and MR  
🗑
Rubella manifestations   cataracts, heart defects, deadness, mental retardation, heptosplenomegaly, pregnancy loss  
🗑
Rubella vaccination   mothers be vaccinated 1-2 weeks before and 4-6 weeks after conception, deter conception for at least 28 days post-vaccination  
🗑
Mumps in Pregnancy   normal, possible miscarriage, malformations of eyes, ears, urogenital, hydrocephalus; congenital cardiomyotpathy  
🗑
CMV   50,000 infants infected annually; can results from primary or secondary infections; maternal-fetal transmission rate of 40%;  
🗑
90% of CMV babies are typically asymptomatic birth but 5-15% will develop...   long term effects such as hearing loss, visual impairment, learning difficulties  
🗑
Congenital CMV is characterized by...   1. heptatosplenomegaly, microcephaly, cerebral calcifications, deadness, chorioretriniis  
🗑
Prenatal diagnosis of CMV is possible through...   level III US (oligo, IGUR, ventriculomegaly)  
🗑
Transplacental herpes   1. IUGR 2. Microcephaly 3. Chorioretinitis 4. Hydranencephy 5. Hydrops fetalis 6. Limb hypoplasia 7. IUGR  
🗑
Neonatal herpes   High risk at delivery (up to 50%), characterized by Skin, eye, mouth disease, CNS disease, morality is high  
🗑
Hep A   fecal-oral transmission, immune globulin must be given within 2 weeks of exposure, fetal infection rare, fetal risk related to degree of maternal morbidity, generally good outcomes  
🗑
Hep B   transmitted by blood and body fluids, vertical transmission most common at time of delivery, chronic carriers risk cirrhosis and heptocellular carcinoma; infants should receive gamma globulin and hep B vaccine post-delivery  
🗑
Hep C   spread by exposure to blood, vertical transmission is common, high viral load or concurrent HIV infection increases risk,  
🗑
Varicella   Maternal infection leads to fetal infection ~25% of time, greatest risk for varicella embryopathy is between 8 and 20 weeks  
🗑
Varicella birth defects   1. Scarring of the skin 2. Limb dysplasia 3. IUGR 4. Visual impairment 5. Microcephaly 6. Developmental delays  
🗑
Parvovirus B-19   joint pain in adults, vertical transmission risk 25-50%, minimal risk for malformation, 5-10% risk for fetal death  
🗑
Parvovirus and manifestations   bone marrow damage, anemia, hydrops, mycarditis  
🗑
Parvovirus treatment   Serial US for 2-12 weeks after maternal infection, follow up with MSAFP, in utero blood transfusions may be an option, bone marrow depression may persist after birth and require transfusions  
🗑
HIV rate of transmission   14-25%  
🗑
HIV AZT Group protocol   reduces transmission when taken in 2nd and 3rd trimesters to 8%, limit invasive procedures, delivery by c-section  
🗑
HIV... can it be passed in breastmilk?   Yes! 27-40% of time  
🗑

🗑
Critical periods for NTD   4-6 weeks  
🗑
Critical period for hyperthermia in general   4-14 weeks  
🗑
