To evaluate perinatal outcomes in case of non-primary maternal cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.
We performed a retrospective cohort study of pregnant women with active CMV infection referred to our unit over a 15-year period (January 2000 to December 2014). Non-primary infection was diagnosed on the basis of the results of confirmatory serological and virological tests (avidity test, immunoblotting, real-time PCR-DNA). The vertical transmission rate and the percentage of symptomatic congenital infection were determined in this group of patients.
A total of 205 pregnant women were enrolled. Congenital infection occurred in 7 (3.4%) fetuses/neonates. Symptomatic disease was present at birth in 3 of the 7 congenitally infected neonates (1.5%). Two out of 3 symptomatic newborns presented a pathologic second-trimester ultrasound scan.
Maternal immunity offers substantial protection against intrauterine transmission of CMV infection, but not against disease once the fetus is infected.
评估非原发性孕妇巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染的围产期结局。
我们对15年间(2000年1月至2014年12月)转诊至我院的活动性CMV感染孕妇进行了一项回顾性队列研究。根据确证性血清学和病毒学检测结果(亲和力检测、免疫印迹、实时PCR-DNA)诊断非原发性感染。在这组患者中确定垂直传播率和有症状先天性感染的百分比。
共纳入205名孕妇。7例(3.4%)胎儿/新生儿发生先天性感染。7例先天性感染新生儿中有3例(1.5%)出生时患有症状性疾病。3例有症状的新生儿中有2例在孕中期超声检查显示病理改变。
母体免疫可提供对CMV感染宫内传播的实质性保护,但胎儿一旦感染则无法预防疾病。
