Q

Can you do a CST for MCDA twins?

A

Yes , but for calculation for the NT you hate the NT which is higher - but still calculate the other NT
But for the CST just use one twin NT because they are the same genetic makeup

MC have a lower incidence of trisomies - possibly due to higher miscarriage test

Can do quad test in twins but makes it even poorer

how has active chickenpox at delivery what is the risk of varicella infection of the newborn
50% if maternal infection occurs 1-4 w before delivery up top 50% of valves are infected and 23% of them will get clinical varicella despite titres of passively acquired maternal antibody severe chicken pox is most likely to occur if the infant is born within 7 days of onset of the mother rash of it mom develops the rash up to 7 days post delivery **GIVE VZIG with or without aciclovir to the neonate in this case**
31
can a woman breast feed if has active chickenpox
yes if lesion close to nipple, express until lesions have crusted over , expressed milk may be given to the baby who is getting VZIG and or aciclovir
32
what is fetal varicella syndrome
one or more of the following skin scarring in a dermatomal distribution eye defects - microphthalmia, chorioretinitis, cataracts hypoplasia of the limbs neurological abnormalities - microcephaly, cortical atrophy, MR, dysfunction of bowel and bladder sphincters
33
How does fetal varicella syndrome occurs
not at the time of initial fetal infection but results from a subsequent herpes zoster reactivation in utero and only occurs in a minority of infected fetuses
34
when is PEP offered if women is immunocomprmized other than pregnancy
if note, if the pregnant woman is immunosuppressed for a reason other than pregnancy, a history of previous infection or vaccination may not be sufficient evidence of immunity and serum should be tested for VZV IgG. PEP should be offered if VZV IgG is negative, or < 150 mIU/ml.
35
what is PEP in chickenpox
a pregnant woman is not immune to VZV and has significant exposure to chickenpox or shingles, she should be offered (PEP). Oral antiviral therapy i.e. Aciclovir (or Valaciclovir) is recommended as the first choice for PEP by the UKHSA. It should be given from day 7 to 14 post exposure. The dose of Aciclovir recommended for PEP is 800mg 4 times daily. The dose of oral Valaciclovir is 1000mg TDS
36
what to do in contraindication to antivirals or PEP? In chickenpox
VZIG may be considered as PEP. In this context it should be offered if VZV IgG is negative, or < 100 mIU/ml in the immunocompetent pregnant woman and if VZV IgG is negative, or < 150 mIU/ml4 in the immunocompromised pregnant woman.
37
when is VZIG administered?
VZIG is administered as soon as possible or at the very latest within 10 days of the exposure (in the case of continuous household exposures, within 10 days of appearance of the rash in the index case)
38
If repeated or another exposure in seronegative pregnant women for chicke pox what do you do
If chickenpox does not develop in a seronegative pregnant woman and there is a further exposure to chickenpox during the pregnancy, testing for VZIG should be repeated regardless of whether or not PEP was prescribed after the initial exposure. If seroconversion has not occurred, a second course of antiviral can be prescribed from seven days after the exposure for 7 days. If VZIG is used for PEP, it can be repeated if the repeat exposure occurs **three weeks or more after the last dose.**
39
what is the dose of acyclovir in preg women if she gets chickenpox
800mg FIVE times a day for 7 days - start within 24 h of rash no VZIG
40
when should women go to hospital with chickenpox
if the woman -smokes cigarettes, -has chronic lung disease, -is immunosuppressed (including those who have taken systemic corticosteroids in the preceding 3 months) -is in the second half of pregnancy, a hospital assessment should be considered even inthe absence of complications. Respiratory symptoms, neurological symptoms such as photophobia, seizures or drowsiness, a haemorrhagic rash or bleeding, or a dense rash with or without mucosal lesions are indicative of potentially life-threatening chickenpox and are indications for referral to a hospital with intensive care access.
41
can varicella infection of the fetus be diagnosed prenatally
yes by USS if abnormalities like limb deformity microcephalic hydrocephalus soft tissue calficication fetal growth restriction can be detected DO USS with a time lag of at least 5 weeks after the primary maternal infection is advised because ultrasound performed at 4 weeks has failed to detect the abnormalities. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may provide additional information in cases where ultrasound has identified morphological abnormalities. VZV DNA can be detected in amniotic fluid by PCR. The presence of VZV DNA has a high sensitivity but a low specificity for the development of FVS.
42
when does FVS occur , when does mom need to be infected
7 - 28 weeks
43
is there a significant risk of miscarriage if infected in pregnancy with chicken pox
no
44

45
when is chickenpox infectious
24 (2 days?) before the rash until lesions crusted over
46
is shingles infectious
yes if ophthalmic or in an immunocompromised individual where viral shedding can be greater

66

28-38w
67
Genital herpes 1st time in pregnancy how to treat
No evidence of an increase risk of spontaneous miscarriage with prim HSV Is genital HSV suspected should go to GUM clinic to confirm diagnosis with PCR Treat right away with PO Aciclovir 400mg TDS for 5 D
68
How to deliver is primary HSV at time of del or within 6 w of due date
Treat with Aciclovir and deliver with CS , this is to reduce exposure of the fetus to HSV which my be present in the maternal genital secretions - some evidence that suggest if membrane have been ruptured for greater than 4 hours the benefit reduces but there’s still some benefit IF VAGINAL DELIVERY- GIVE IV ACICLOVIR to mom - 5mg/kg TDS and then to baby 20mg/kg TDS Unknown if intrapartum Aciclovir reduces risk of neonatal HSV infection
69
Risk of neonatal herpes if primary episode of genital herpes lesions at the time of vag del
41% Highest risk of perinatal transmission depends on the timing of maternal acquisition of HSV - highest risk in infants born to women who have not completed HSV seroconverstuon so monstly in the 3rd trimester within 6 weeks of delivery If vag delivery chose- avoid ARM, instrumental del and FSE

1 - difference in fluid oligo DVP <2cm in donor and poly in recipient DVP >8cm before 20 w and >10 cm after 20w -donor bladder visible , dopplers normal 2- bladder of donor not visible and severe oligo -dopplers not critically abnormal 3-abnormal dopplers in one or both twins , usu abnormal umbilical arterial Dop velocities in the donor and or abnormal venous dop vel in the recipient ( reversed flow during atrial contraction within the ductus venous and or pulsatile umbilical vein velocities 4- 4. ascites pericardial or pleur effusion, scalp oedema or overt hydrops usually in the recipient 5- one or both dead
