Teratogenicity

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by anesthetizing...

Development of Immunocompetence

Development of Immunocompetence

The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Mitral Valve Prolapse III: Nursing Management

Mitral Valve Prolapse III: Nursing Management

The nursing management of Mitral Valve Prolapse, or MVP, centers around patient education, symptom monitoring, and lifestyle modifications.Patient Education on MVP Diagnosis and Heredity: Nurses should provide comprehensive education about MVP, a condition where the mitral valve does not close appropriately during heartbeats. This education often includes the condition's pathophysiology, symptoms, and potential complications, like arrhythmias or mitral regurgitation. Though not fully...

Cytomegalovirus Disease

Cytomegalovirus Disease

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a widespread pathogen that primarily targets infants and young children but also poses a serious health risk to elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Belonging to the Pneumoviridae family, RSV is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus within the Pneumovirus genus. Its global health burden is significant, with millions of cases annually resulting in hospitalizations and mortality, particularly in resource-limited settings. Although most...

Summary

Measles in pregnancy is a serious concern. Early diagnosis and vaccination are crucial for maternal and infant health, especially with rising measles cases.

Area of Science:

Obstetrics and Gynecology
Infectious Diseases
Vaccinology

Background:

Measles is a highly contagious viral illness with potential for severe complications, particularly in pregnant individuals.
The resurgence of measles highlights the importance of maintaining high vaccination rates.
Diagnosing measles during pregnancy can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions.

Observation:

A 32-week pregnant, unvaccinated 27-year-old woman presented with symptoms including fever, tachycardia, sore throat, and a rash.
Initial diagnostic workup revealed parainfluenza virus infection and lymphopenia, with normal chest radiography.
The patient experienced progressive respiratory failure, necessitating a premature cesarean delivery and subsequent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Findings:

Keywords:

TB and other respiratory infections infections obstetrics and gynaecology pregnancy vaccination/immunisation

Measles was confirmed retrospectively in the mother after her husband was diagnosed.
The neonate did not present with congenital measles.
The mother recovered fully after intensive care and ECMO support.

Implications:

This case underscores the critical need for comprehensive vaccine history assessment early in pregnancy.
Prompt multidisciplinary team involvement is essential for managing pregnant women with rapidly deteriorating respiratory conditions.
Maintaining high measles vaccination coverage is vital to prevent outbreaks and protect vulnerable populations, including pregnant women and newborns.
