Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pediatric Development

Background:

  • Lyme disease in pregnancy is poorly understood, with limited data from case reports.
  • Population-based studies on Borrelia infection during gestation are lacking.
  • Existing research lacks comprehensive follow-up on fetal and neonatal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a prospective study on Borrelia infection in pregnant individuals.
  • To assess pregnancy outcomes and long-term developmental assessments of offspring exposed to Borrelia in utero.
  • To investigate various Borrelia species and other tick-borne pathogens.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective enrollment in endemic and non-endemic obstetrical practices.
  • Utilizing serological, microscopic, culture, and molecular diagnostic techniques.
  • Collecting serial maternal and fetal biospecimens (blood, urine, amniotic fluid, etc.).
  • Longitudinal follow-up of offspring until age 5 with developmental assessments.

Main Results:

  • This section will be populated upon study completion.

Conclusions:

  • This study will establish crucial data on Lyme disease in pregnancy.
  • Findings will inform clinical management and improve understanding of congenital Borrelia exposure.
  • A robust biorepository and data-sharing strategy will be developed.
