1Maternal Immune system has 2 main roles
1. Don’t kill the foetus
• Foetus is ‘[blank_start]foreign[blank_end]’ therefore maternal immune system is [blank_start]modified[blank_end] so that the foreign tissue is not killed
2. Protect the foetus & newborn
• Protect foetus from infections in utero ([blank_start]congenital[blank_end] infections)
• Transfer maternal [blank_start]immunity[blank_end] to newborn- Amodified
- Bforeign
- Ccongenital
- Dimmunity
2Maternal Immune system
• Increase in [blank_start]number and activity[blank_end] of cells of the innate immune system, including NK cells
• Cytokine production modified
• [blank_start]Less[blank_end] antigen presentation at early stages
• Increasing [blank_start]estradiol[blank_end] – augments Th2/[blank_start]Ig[blank_end] responses
• Progesterone has a [blank_start]suppressive[blank_end] effect at later stages on acquired responses
Result of this…
• Increased [blank_start]susceptibility to diseases[blank_end] where cellular responses are important
• Increased [blank_start]severity[blank_end] due to altered physiology in pregnancy eg cardiopulmonary changes- Anumber and activity
- BLess
- Cestradiol
- DIg
- Esuppressive
- Fsusceptibility to diseases
- Gseverity
3Transfer of maternal immunity
Newborn has:
• an [blank_start]underdeveloped[blank_end] immune system - immune system in the foetus is tolerogenic and [blank_start]non-reactive[blank_end], so
doesn't try to kill mother.
• is immunologically naïve - no [blank_start]memory[blank_end], every infection is new – will get sick
• no/underdeveloped microflora
• Newborn infants and children < 2 are highly [blank_start]susceptible[blank_end] to infection, particularly [blank_start]viral[blank_end] infections.
• This can result in very serious disease - infections must be taken seriously and treated quickly.
Maternal [blank_start]IgG[blank_end] can cross the placenta and accounts for the high levels present in the foetus. Baby born at 20 weeks ~ [blank_start]100 mg/dL[blank_end]. Breast milk contains [blank_start]IgA[blank_end] (& leukocytes) - transferred to neonate. Baby can produce only limited amounts of antibody, only [blank_start]IgM[blank_end] for first 6 months. At [blank_start]12[blank_end] months all maternal IgG is gone.- Aunderdeveloped
- Bnon-reactive
- Cmemory
- Dsusceptible
- Eviral
- FIgG
- G100 mg/dL
- HIgA
- IIgM
- J12
4• GBS (group B streptococcus infection) is the most [blank_start]common[blank_end] infection of neonates, [blank_start]vertical[blank_end] transmission from mum during labor/delivery can occur
• Infection in neonates – [blank_start]CNS, heart and lung[blank_end] pathology with 20-30% mortality in [blank_start]preterm[blank_end] infants, 2-3% in full-term
• NZ has gone for a [blank_start]risk-based[blank_end] approach (rather then universal screening)
• All newborns must be observed for [blank_start]1[blank_end] hour as per MoH guidelines
• If risk factors for GBS extend to at least [blank_start]24[blank_end] hours- Acommon
- Bvertical
- CCNS, heart and lung
- Dpreterm
- Erisk-based
- F1
- G24
5TORCH(Z) = Microbes associated with congenital infections.
T - [blank_start]Toxoplasma gondii[blank_end]
O - [blank_start]Other; inlcudes chicken pox and HIV[blank_end]
R - [blank_start]Rubella[blank_end]
C - [blank_start]Cytomegalovirus (CMV)[blank_end]
H - [blank_start]HSV-1 and HSV-2[blank_end]
Z - Zika?- AToxoplasma gondii
- BOther; inlcudes chicken pox and HIV
- CRubella
- DCytomegalovirus (CMV)
- EHSV-1 and HSV-2
6Choose the incorrect statement about Cytomegalovirus (CMV).
- APost natal infection is subclinical/mild (low fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes) = & virus persists for life
- BHigher risk of congenital infection if it's a primary infection of the mother, but there's more cases from reinfections of CMV positive mother
- C~90% of congenital infections symptomatic at birth
- DSymptoms from congenital infection are jaundice, pneumonia, myocarditis, and it is survivable with supportive care
- EPermanent disabilities (hearing loss, visual & intellectual impairment) can
result from both asymptomatic & symptomatic disease
7CMV - Treatment
• 6 months of [blank_start]oral Ganciclovir[blank_end] for newborns with [blank_start]severe[blank_end] symptomatic disease
• No evidence base for treating [blank_start]older[blank_end] children
• Requirement for new anti-virals with less [blank_start]toxicity[blank_end]- Aoral Ganciclovir
- Bsevere
- Colder
- Dtoxicity
8Rubella
• Togaviridae, enveloped [blank_start]gram positive[blank_end] strand RNA virus, worldwide distribution
• Transmission - respiratory via [blank_start]droplets[blank_end], fetal (infection rate [blank_start]decreases[blank_end] as pregnancy progresses)
• Highly [blank_start]contagious[blank_end]
• Originally thought to be a benign disease until birth defects were linked to disease early in pregnancy
• Post-natal infection
- Fever, aching, [blank_start]swollen[blank_end] lymph nodes, cough, [blank_start]sore[blank_end] throat. Self- [blank_start]limiting[blank_end].
• Congenital infection
- infection in the first [blank_start]8[blank_end] weeks results in fetal damage in 85% of infants
- immediate symptoms: cataracts, [blank_start]cardiac[blank_end] abnormalities, deafness
- delayed symptoms - [blank_start]neurological[blank_end] impairment, [blank_start]behavioural[blank_end] disorders, diabetes
• Treatment - treat [blank_start]symptoms[blank_end]
• Prevention - Live vaccine ([blank_start]MMR[blank_end]), 90-97% effective- Agram positive
- Bdroplets
- Cdecreases
- Dcontagious
- Eswollen
- Fsore
- Glimiting
- H8

9Varicella-Zoster Virus
- enveloped ds DNA virus
- highly [blank_start]contagious[blank_end], airborn [blank_start]transmission[blank_end]
- 3 diseases - congenital varicella syndrome ([blank_start]neonates[blank_end]), chickenpox ([blank_start]children[blank_end]), shingles (herpes zoster - [blank_start]adults[blank_end])
- major complication is [blank_start]bacterial infections[blank_end] of rash
- treatment - lotions to stop [blank_start]itching[blank_end], immunoglobulin or nucleotide analogues for at risk groups
- congential disease in 1-2 trimester - very [blank_start]rare[blank_end], deformed [blank_start]limbs[blank_end], low birth [blank_start]weight[blank_end], scarring, [blank_start]mental[blank_end] defects.
- 3 trimester - mother develops rash < [blank_start]4 days[blank_end] before delivery - disseminated & fulminant disease, [blank_start]30[blank_end]% mortality.

10Post natal infections - mother:
• Risk of any infection [blank_start]1–4[blank_end]% after vaginal delivery and [blank_start]10–20[blank_end]% after caesarean section
• Mild [blank_start]breast[blank_end] infections most common, anti-microbials in 1/3 of cases
• Infections associated with [blank_start]discontinuation[blank_end] of breast feeding- A1–4

- Cbreast
- Ddiscontinuation
11Mastitis
• inflammation of the breast, may be due to [blank_start]infection[blank_end]
• common – [blank_start]5-33[blank_end]% of lactating women, usually [blank_start]early[blank_end] in lactation, 3-11% will develop an [blank_start]abscess[blank_end]
• usually [blank_start]unilateral[blank_end]
• 70% cases [blank_start]infectious[blank_end]
Signs & Symptoms
• Local – breast [blank_start]pain[blank_end], engorgement, inflammation, heat, nipple [blank_start]damage[blank_end] (abscess – lump, necrosis)
