APPROACH TO CONGENITAL INTRAUTERINE INFECTIONS
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 15
Abstract
TORCH infections remain as one of the significant causes of recurrent pregnancy losses even today. Laboratory diagnosis like sero diagnosis, molecular methods, antigen detection, virus isolation, inclusion bodies play the key role in diagnosing and treating congenital intrauterine infections. Recommending prenatal diagnosis with provisional diagnosis of TORCH infections is important. When infection is suspected during pregnancy, to reduce the risk of fetal loss cordocentesis, amniocentesis should be recommended. Prenatal diagnosis before 8th week and after 34 gestational weeks is not recommended because of risk of fetal loss and risk of secondary infection.
