Abstract:
Bovine perinatal mortality due to infection may result either from the direct effects of intrauterine infection and/or the fetal response to such infection, leading to the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS). Both intrauterine infection and FIRS, which causes multi-organ damage and involution of immune organs, compromise fetal survivability, sometimes fatally. Organ injury associated with FIRS may, in addition to causing fetal mortality, irreversibly compromise extrauterine adaptation of the neonate, a recognized problem in human fetuses. Diagnosis of intrauterine infection and of FIRS requires related, but independent analytical approaches. In addition to detection of pathogens, the immune and inflammatory responses of the bovine fetus may be utilized to diagnose intrauterine infection. This can be done by detection of specific changes in internal organs and the measurement of antibodies and/or elements of the acute phase reaction. Currently our ability to diagnose FIRS in bovine fetuses and neonates is limited to research studies. This review focuses on both the fetomaternal response to infection and diagnostic methods which rely on the response of the fetus to infection and inflammatory changes, as well other methods which may improve diagnosis of intrauterine infection in cases of bovine perinatal mortality.

Abstract:
Background: Although maternal infections with coxsackievirus during pregnancy are relatively common, fetal infections are quite rare. Coxsackievirus infection in utero has been associated with myocarditis, but has not been proven a teratogen.Case: A patient whose fetus had structural cardiac anomalies and hydrops was found to have an intrauterine infection with Coxsackie B-1 virus, proven by virus isolation from the amniotic fluid. This infection led to increasing intrauterine hydrops and subsequent neonatal death. Conclusion: This interesting association of intrauterine infection with Coxsackie B virus and structural cardiac anomalies in the fetus warrants further investigation.

Abstract:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is similar to 2 other coronaviruses, SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), in causing life-threatening maternal respiratory infections and systemic complications. Because of global concern for potential intrauterine transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from pregnant women to their infants, this report analyzes the effects on pregnancy of infections caused by SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory RNA viruses, and examines the frequency of maternal-fetal transmission with SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza (HPIV), and metapneumovirus (hMPV). There have been no confirmed cases of intrauterine transmission reported with SARS-CoV-2 or any other coronaviruses—SARS and MERS. Influenza virus, despite causing approximately 1 billion annual infections globally, has only a few cases of confirmed or suspected intrauterine fetal infections reported. Respiratory syncytial virus is an unusual cause of illness among pregnant women, and with the exception of 1 premature infant with congenital pneumonia, no other cases of maternal-fetal infection are described. Parainfluenza virus and hMPV can produce symptomatic maternal infections but do not cause intrauterine fetal infection. In summary, it appears that the absence thus far of maternal-fetal transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the COVID-19 pandemic is similar to other coronaviruses, and is also consistent with the extreme rarity of suggested or confirmed cases of intrauterine transmission of other respiratory RNA viruses. This observation has important consequences for pregnant women because it appears that if intrauterine transmission of SARS-CoV-2 does eventually occur, it will be a rare event. Potential mechanisms of fetal protection from maternal viral infections are also discussed.

Abstract:
Parvovirus B19 is a well-established cause of fetal anemia and nonimmune fetal hydrops in pregnancy. Fetal parvovirus infection can cause severe destruction of erythroid progenitor cells, resulting in fetal anemia, hydrops, and intrauterine death. However, viral myocarditis with subsequent heart failure is another possible mechanism for hydrops formation as viral infection of fetal myocardial cells has been reported in postmortem examinations. We herein report a case of fetal cardiomegaly and massive pericardial effusion secondary to myocarditis as a result of parvovirus B19 infection. The case developed hydrops as consequence of severe anemia and experienced terminal heart failure, which led to the fetus dying an intrauterine death at 22 weeks of gestation. This case demonstrates that there may be an association between myocarditis caused by intrauterine parvovirus B19 infection and a poor outcome. The presence of viral myocarditis may be the determining prognostic factor in that situation.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical and sonographic parameters associated with adverse fetal outcomes in patients with congenital parvovirus B19 infection managed by intrauterine transfusion. Methods This was a single-center retrospective study conducted from January 2005 to December 2016 that assessed patients with singleton pregnancies with fetal parvovirus infection confirmed by a polymerase chain reaction of the amniotic fluid or fetal blood samples who underwent at least one intrauterine transfusion. The maternal characteristics, sonographic findings and parameters related to intrauterine transfusion were compared between the two groups (recovery/non-recovery), who were categorized based on fetal response after in-utero transfusions. Progression to fetal death or delivery without fetal recovery after the transfusions was considered non-recovery and categorized as an adverse outcome. Results The final analysis included ten singleton pregnancies: seven of which were categorized into the recovery group and three of which into the non-recovery group. The baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. All fetuses were hydropic at the time of diagnosis. No significant differences related to sonographic or intrauterine transfusion parameters were identified between the groups; however, the non-recovery group tended to have an increased number of sonographic markers and lower fetal hemoglobin and platelet levels before the transfusion. Conclusion We were unable to firmly establish the clinical or sonographic parameters associated with adverse fetal outcomes in patients with parvovirus infection managed with intrauterine transfusions; however, edema, placental thickening and oligohydramnios may indicate greater fetal compromise and, subsequently, adverse outcomes. However, further studies are necessary, mainly due to the small number of cases analyzed in the present study.

Abstract:
We report a case of intrauterine Klebsiella pneumoniae infection that resulted in premature rupture of membranes and fetal demise at 20 weeks' gestation in a pregnancy achieved by in vitro fertilization. Postmortem findings included massive panlobar pneumonia, the presence of abundant gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria within the pulmonary air spaces and the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract, and fetal lung and blood cultures positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae. The placenta showed severe acute chorioamnionitis associated with a brisk fetal inflammatory response (umbilical cord and chorionic plate vasculitis). Marked pancreatic fibrosis was noted, indicative of a preceding necrotizing pancreatitis. In spite of this fulminant histopathologic evidence of intrauterine infection, the infection was clinically silent. This represents, to our knowledge, the 1st reported case of fatal intrauterine Klebsiella pneumoniae infection fully supported by conclusive fetal and placental histopathological evidence.

Abstract:
Parvovirus B19 is a common infection in humans that occurs worldwide. Parvovirus B19 is transmitted through exposure to respiratory droplets, blood, and blood products, and through mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) in utero. Intrauterine parvovirus B19 infection is a rare occurrence during pregnancy but can result in significant morbidity and mortality for the fetus, including severe fetal anemia and nonimmune fetal hydrops (NIFH). Intrauterine transfusion can be successful in treating fetal anemia. Neurodevelopmental impairment has been reported in infants with congenital infection who have received intrauterine transfusion (IUT). Future research on the development of antiviral agents for the treatment of parvovirus B19 infection in pregnant women is needed, along with the development of a parvovirus B19 vaccine. Longitudinal studies to evaluate neurodevelopmental outcome of infants with a history of congenital parvovirus B19 infection are needed in order to facilitate the optimal evaluation and management of these infants.

Abstract:
Despite advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, infectious diseases continue to be a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Immunologic changes in pregnancy can increase both susceptibility to certain infections and the severity of infection. Infectious diseases in pregnancy contribute to the development of congenital fetal syndromes in addition to adverse outcomes including preterm birth, stillbirth, and intrauterine growth restriction. While infections of the maternal central nervous system, or CNS, are rare during pregnancy, the potential impact can be critical.1 This chapter will cover both the types of infections within the CNS and the potential organisms that cause these infections. The chapter will also provide general management recommendations for pregnancy in order to both prevent and maintain awareness about CNS infections.

Abstract:
Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii can result in congenital toxoplasmosis. Untreated congenital toxoplasmosis presents considerable potential risks to patients and costs for society, with manifestations recurring throughout life. Infection with T. gondii, acquired at any time during pregnancy can damage the fetus, but especially during early gestation. Fetal infection with T. gondii can cause fetal loss, intrauterine growth retardation, and damage to organs (especially the brain and eyes). Treatment with pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine improves manifestations of active infection in the fetus, congenital infection in infants, and recurrent disease when manifested later in life in those congenitally infected. Key components of the prevention and treatment of congenital toxoplasmosis include prompt, correct diagnosis and treatment with effective anti–T. gondii medications. Several countries have gestational screening programs to detect newly acquired T. gondii infections. In the future, development of new medications, including those for chronic infection, and vaccines for prevention will be important.

Abstract:
Drug abuse results from a complex interplay among the drug, the individual and the socio-cultural environment. Current pain reliever, heroin, and OxyContin® use is reported in 0.9% (n = 19,000), 0.2% (n = 4,000), and 0.1% (n = 3,000), respectively, of pregnant women in the United States each year. Cocaine use was reported in 0.2% of pregnant women. Intrauterine drug exposure to opiates is associated with risk for narcotic abstinence syndrome, prenatal infections, and sudden infant death. Illicit drug use during pregnancy also places the mother-to-be at risk for reduced prenatal care, obstetric complications, including abruption placentae, prolonged rupture of membranes, and fetal distress. This chapter focuses on the neurobiological effects of intrauterine opiate and cocaine exposure on the developing fetus.

Abstract:
Recent data shows that 30 million low-birth-weight (LBW) infants are born annually worldwide (23.8% of all births). Although the global prevalence of such births is gradually decreasing, rates are still as high as 30% in many developing countries (World Health Organization 2008). Low birth weight is due to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), rather than or in addition to prematurity, in approximately one-third of these cases. This staggering number of affected children underscores the importance of understanding the short- and long-term cognitive and behavioral complications of IUGR. Intrauterine growth restriction conveys short- and long-term neurodevelopmental risks and thus requires costly long-term investment of medical, cognitive emotional, educational, and economical resources. Nevertheless, if treated aggressively, IUGR more often than not bears a fairly optimistic outlook, once the infant overcomes the initial life-threatening issues (Geva et al. 2006a). Intrauterine growth restriction is frequently detected in a pregnancy with a less-than-expected third trimester weight gain (100–200 g [3.5–7 oz] per week) or as an incidental finding on ultrasound examination when fetal measurements are less than expected for gestational age (GA; Geva et al. 2005). An estimated fetal weight under the 10th percentile, as determined by serial ultrasound examination, strongly correlates with growth restriction (Bernstein and Gabbe 1996; McCormick 1985). The etiologies of IUGR are typically thought of according to three interdependent categories: fetal factors, placental factors, and maternal factors (Kay 2008). Fetal factors include chromosomal events, such as trisomy 18 and 13 and sex chromosome abnormalities, which account for 5%–15% of all IUGR cases. Further exploration of genetic factors is currently under way, with mixed results (Kotzot et al. 2001). Other fetal factors linked to IUGR include congenital anomalies, mostly cardiovascular malformations, gastroschisis and omphalocele; infection, often related to rubella, cytomegalovirus, and toxoplasmosis (see Chapter 25); and multiple gestations, in which uteroplacental blood flow variations and/or twin–twin transfusion develops (Miller et al. 2008). Fetal villus circulation abnormalities are placental factors related to IUGR (Roberts and Post 2008).

This chapter reviews isolated and syndromic intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or small for gestational age infants. The differential diagnosis of intrauterine growth restriction includes placental, maternal, and fetal causes. Maternal causes of IUGR include exposure to teratogens, various maternal illnesses, and multiple gestation. Infant causes include congenital infection, chromosomal aneuploidy, and multiple syndromes including primordial dwarfism. Other causes include genomic imprinting errors (Russell Silver syndrome and IMAGe syndrome) and endocrine and metabolic causes, the lipodystrophies, and skeletal dysplasias including SHOX deficiency. The evaluation of IUGR usually includes a SNP microarray and often targeted or gene panel testing. A clinical case presentation features an infant with Majewski (microcephalic) osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism (MOPD II) .

Abstract:
Introduction: With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and its rapid spread, a concern with the pregnant women have increased, since viruses have a wide range of obstetric and neonatal issues. Recent findings indicate that the gestational period and the postpartum period make mothers and their offspring more susceptible to COVID-19 and the rapid progression to the critical stage of the disease. Objectives: To carry out a bibliographic study on SARS-CoV- 2 during pregnancy and the potential risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in neonates. Methods: A review, developed from articles selected on the following bases: PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. In the search, articles indexed until March 2021 and published in English, using the descriptors: “COVID-19”; “Pregnancy”; “Offspring”; “Neonatal”; “Neurodevelopment”; “Anomalies” and “Complications”. Exclusion criteria: duplicates and articles outside the scope of the study. Results: The initial search resulted in 533 articles, 498 from PubMed, 2 from Web of Science and 33 from Scopus. After reading the title and abstract, the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the sample of 48 documents were included. In the studies, 89.0% of all patients had cesarean delivery (n = 201), 33.3% had gestational complications, 35.3% had premature delivery and about 2.5% were stillborn or had neonatal death. Among those tested, 6.45% of neonates diagnosed positive for COVID-19. In another study, the newborn showed neurological issues similar to the adult patients and transient neurological complications due to cerebral vasculitis. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that further investigations are needed to determine the potential for vertical intrauterine transmission in pregnant women with COVID-19 and possibles fetal and neonatal consequences.

Abstract:
Background: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a congenital malformation of neural tube closure. The clinical picture comprises sensory and motor deficits at the point of spinal cord injury and below, in addition to ventriculomegaly, which requires ventriculo-peritoneal drains (DVP). Exposure of nervous tissue to amniotic fluid and trauma to the uterine wall, generates secondary damage. Intrauterine correction is the gold standard for MMC and aims to reduce organic and functional sequelae, improving the patient’s neurological prognosis. Objectives: The objective of this work is to identify the impact of fetal surgery against MMC. Methods: An integrative literature review was carried out based on articles selected from the Google Scholar and Scientific Eletronic Library Online databases. Results: The benefits of intrauterine neurosurgery outweigh the harm, based on maternal complications. Such maternal risks are: oligohydramnios, spontaneous rupture of the membrane, uterine dehiscence, premature birth, infections, blood transfusion, acute lung edema and contraindication for vaginal delivery due to uterine scarring. For the child, all the studies analyzed showed the same gains, extremely significant when compared to postnatal surgery: better cognitive development, greater probability of walking without using orthoses, less need for DVP. The gains from the fetal surgery technique go beyond the postnatal intervention. Conclusions: Therefore, the importance of early intrauterine treatment, in a properly equipped place and by qualified professionals, is reiterated, offering comprehensive care to pregnant women, preventing potential impasses and aiming at a better prognosis and quality of life for the child.
