Exposure to viral infections during pregnancy
| Virus | Action | Risk to babs |
|---|---|---|
| Measles | Check if immune: 2 vax or known immunity - if so, reassure unlikely If contact has confirmed/likely measles, check maternal measles IgG → if negative, give human normal IgG |
Intrauterine death, premature delivery |
| Rubella | Check if immune: 2 vax, 1 vax + antibodies +ve, or past antibodies +ve - if so, reassure unlikely | Congenital rubella |
| Parvovirus B19 | Do serology | Miscarriage, hydrops fetalis (↑ risk with gestation) |
