Perinatal acquired infections
• Transplacental• Intrapartum
(vertical)• Postnatal
(horizontal)

Colonization
• Intrapartum (mothers flora)• Postnatal (ward environment)• CUMH 8500 deliveries• Group B Streptococcus
– 25% of mothers colonized (2000)
– 50 % of babies colonized (1000)– 1-3% of babies infected (10-30)
![Page 6: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Preventing infection
• Handwashing – before and after touching any
baby– no watches, bracelets, nail
varnish– sleeves rolled up– full scrub on arrival in NICU– 10 second wash in between– alcohol solutions

Clinical Features
• maculopapular rash
• lymphadenopathy

![Page 10: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rubella
History
1881 Rubella accepted as a distinct disease
1941 Associated with congenital disease (Gregg)
1961 Rubella virus first isolated
1967 Serological tests available
1969 Rubella vaccines available
![Page 11: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Risks of rubella infection during pregnancy
Preconception minimal risk
0-12 weeks 100% risk of fetus being congenitally infected
Spontaneous abortion occurs in 20% of cases.
13-16 weeks deafness and retinopathy 15%
after 16 weeks normal development, slight risk of deafness and retinopathy
![Page 12: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Outcome Congenital Rubella
• 1/3 rd will lead normal independent lives
• 1/3 rd will live with parents
• 1/3rd will be institutionalised
![Page 13: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Prevention
Antenatal screening
• Non-immune women vaccinated post partum
• Effective live attenuated vaccine (95% efficacy)
• Universal vaccination (MMR)
• Selectively vaccination of schoolgirls
![Page 14: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Congential CMV• Herpes virus
– H simplex (i/ii), Varicella, EBV, HHV 6,7,8
• Large DNA virus – inclusion bodies
• Characteristics – latency – reactivation
• Infection – primary, recurrent, reactivation
![Page 16: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cytomegalovirus
• member of the herpesvirus
• primary infection usually asymptomatic. Virus then becomes latent and is reactivated from time to time.
• transmitted by infected saliva, breast milk, sexually and through infected blood
• 60% of the population eventually become infected. In some developing countries, the figure is up to 95%.
![Page 17: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Congenital Infection
• Isolation of CMV from the saliva or urine within 3 weeks of birth.
• Commonest congenital viral infection, affects 0.3 - 1% of all live births.
• The second most common cause of mental disibility after Down's syndrome
• Transmission to the fetus may occur following primary or recurrent CMV infection. 40% chance of transmission to the fetus following a primary infection.
![Page 18: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cytomegalic Inclusion Disease• CNS abnormalities
– - microcephaly, mental retardation, spasticity, epilepsy, – periventricular calcification.
• Eye - choroidoretinitis and optic atrophy
• Ear - sensorineural deafness
• Liver - hepatosplenomegaly and jaundice which is due to hepatitis.
• Lung - pneumonitis
• Heart - myocarditis
• Thrombocytopenic purpura, Haemolytic anaemia• Late sequelae in individuals asymptomatic at birth
– hearing defects and reduced intelligence.
![Page 19: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Diagnosis
• Isolation of CMV from the urine or saliva of the neonate.
• Presence of CMV IgM from the blood of the neonate.
• Detection of Cytomegalic Inclusion Bodies from affected tissue (rarely used)
![Page 20: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Management Of Congenital CMV
• Primary Infection - termination of pregnancy?
– 40% chance of the fetus being infected.
– 10% chance that congenitally infected baby will be symptomatic at birth or develop sequelae later in life.
– 4% chance (1 in 25) of giving birth to an infant with CMV problems.
• Recurrent Infection - termination not recommended as risk of transmission to the fetus is much lower.
• Antenatal Screening – impractical.
• Vaccination - may become available in the near future.

Parvovirus B 191/400 pregnancies
15% risk of miscarriage3% risk of hydrops
![Page 25: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Parvovirus
• Causative agent of Fifth disease (erythema infectiosum), clinically difficult to distinguish from rubella.
• Also causes aplastic crisis in individuals with haemolytic anaemias as erythrocyte progenitors are targeted.
• Spread by the respiratory route, 60-70% of the population is eventually infected.
• 50% of women of childbearing age are susceptible to infection.
![Page 26: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Congenital Parvovirus Infection
• Known to cause fetal loss – hydrops fetalis; severe anaemia, congestive heart failure,
generalized oedema and fetal death
• No evidence of teratogenecity.
• Risk of fetal death highest in second trimester (12%).
• Minimal risk to the fetus in first or third trimesters
• Maternal infection during pregnancy does not warrant termination of pregnancy.
• Cases of diagnosed hydrops fetalis had been successfully treated in utero by intrauterine transfusions

Neonatal Varicella
• VZV can cross the placenta in the late stages of pregnancy
• Neonatal varicella may vary from a mild disease to a fatal disseminated infection.
• If rash in mother occurs more than 1 week before delivery, then sufficient immunity would have been transferred to the fetus.
• Zoster immunoglobulin should be given to susceptible pregnant women who had contact with suspected cases of varicella.
• Zoster immunoglobulin should also be given to infants whose mothers develop varicella during the last 7 days of pregnancy or the first 14 days after delivery.

Summary CMV• 1% newborns infected (0.2% - 2.5%)• 90% asymptomatic• Higher infection rate with primary
maternal (50%) than after recurrent maternal (1%)
• Urine culture (gold standard) • worse outcome with
– retinitis, microcephaly, neurological findings
• Prevention is better than cure!
![Page 51: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Features of the Host
• Portals of entry – (skin, cord, cannulae)
• Host immunity – (poor local inflammatory response)
• Antibiotic exposure • (superinfection, yeasts)• Prematurity
– (immune-deficient, sicker)

Congenital Viral Infections
An Overview
![Page 53: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Congenital Rubella Syndrome
Classical triad consists of cataracts, heart defects, and sensorineural deafness. Many other abnormalities had been described and these are divided into transient, permanent and developmental.
Transient low birth weight, hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenic purpura bone lesions, meningoencephalitis, hepatitis, haemolytic anemia pneumonitis, lymphadenopathy
Permanent Sensorineural deafness, Heart Defects (peripheral pulmonary stenosis,
pulmonary valvular stenosis, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect) Eye Defects (retinopathy, cataract, microopthalmia,
glaucoma, severe myopia) Other Defects (microcephaly, diabetes mellitis, thyroid disorders, dermatoglyptic abnormalities
Developmental Sensorineural deafness, Mental retardation, Diabetes Mellitus, thyroid disorder
![Page 54: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Disease is spread by
• Faecal - oral route– gastroenteritis
• Respiratory (coughing)– colds, viruses
• Person to person– Streptococcus, cold sores, scabies
• Contact with blood, urine, saliva– CMV, hepatitis

Characteristics of Rubella
• RNA enveloped virus, member of the togavirus family
• Spread by respiratory droplets.
• In the prevaccination era, 80% of women were already infected by childbearing age.
![Page 57: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Infection increased by certain features of microorganisms
• Pathogenicity – GBS, CONS, E.Coli, etc.
• Dose– heavy colonization increases infection
• Competition – e.g. inhibition of yeasts by bacteria

Laboratory Diagnosis
Diagnosis of acute infection
• Rising titres of antibody (mainly IgG)
• Presence of rubella-specific IgM -

Neonatal Herpes Simplex (1)
• Incidence of neonatal HSV infection varies inexplicably from country to country e.g. from 1 in 4000 live births in the U.S. to 1 in 10000 live births in the UK.
• The baby is usually infected perinatally during passage through the birth canal.
• Premature rupturing of the membranes is a well recognized risk factor.
• The risk of perinatal transmission is greatest when there is a florid primary infection in the mother.
• There is an appreciably smaller risk from recurrent lesions in the mother, probably because of the lower viral load and the presence of specific antibody.
• The baby may also be infected from other sources such as oral lesions from the mother or a herpetic whitlow in a nurse.

Neonatal Herpes Simplex (2)
• The spectrum of neonatal HSV infection varies from a mild disease localized to the skin to a fatal disseminated infection.
• Infection is particularly dangerous in premature infants.• Where dissemination occurs, the organs most commonly
involved are the liver, adrenals and the brain.• Where the brain is involved, the prognosis is particularly
severe. The encephalitis is global and of such severity that the brain may be liquefied.
• A large proportion of survivors of neonatal HSV infection have residual disabilities.
• Acyclovir should be promptly given in all suspected cases of neonatal HSV infection.
• The only means of prevention is to offer caesarean section to mothers with florid genital HSV lesions.

Varicella-Zoster Virus
• 90% of pregnant women already immune, therefore primary infection is rare during pregnancy
• Primary infection during pregnancy carries a greater risk of severe disease, in particular pneumonia
First 20 weeks of Pregnancy
up to 3% chance of transmission to the fetus, recognised congenital varicella syndrome;• Scarring of skin• Hypoplasia of limbs• CNS and eye defects• Death in infancy normal

Prevention of Infection• Reduce contact• Breast feeding • Early discharge home• Environment
– Unit design– Equipment (own stethescope,
thermometer, humidification, ventilators)
• Controlling admissions (transitional care)
![Page 64: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Prevention of Infection• Cleanliness of baby• Cord care
– dry care vs alcohol swabs
• Other babies, staff, visitors– RSV, varicella zoster
• Invasive procedures– sterile technique
![Page 65: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Epidemiology of CMV• Shed
– body secretions, urine
• Transfer– Intimate contact– transplacental– during birth– breast feeding– blood products– organ transplantation
![Page 67: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
CMV in the newborn• 1% newborns infected (0.2% -
2.5%)
• Higher infection rate with primary maternal (50%) than after recurrent maternal (1%)
• 50% of babies fed CMV infected breast milk get infection
![Page 68: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)

![Page 69: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
CMV in Pregnancy • 90% of women asymptomatic• Primary infection 1 - 4% of
pregnancies• Foetal transmission 25 - 75% (~ 40%)• More neuro sequelae in infants of
primary infection• Maternal antibody does not protect
against infection but may be associated with less sequelae
![Page 70: Infections in the Newborn and beyond Tony Ryan University College Cork.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a922ec/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Diagnosis in Pregnancy • Usually asymptomatic• Sometimes ‘flu-like illness (like
EBV)• Conversion to IgG positive• Rising titres not helpful
