Extractions: Toxoplasmosis, Chicken Pox and Fifth Disease in Pregnancy Of the month New Contest June! Dangerous Illnesses in Pregnancy Toxoplasmosis Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by parasites from uncooked meat or from contact with the feces of a cat. It can be a serious condition for a pregnant woman. Because the symptoms resemble the flu, it is hard to diagnose. A blood test is available to determine if toxoplasmosis is present. Chicken Pox When a pregnant woman becomes infected with the Chicken Pox virus, she and her baby are at risk. It can develop into pneumonia for the mother. Her baby can be at risk for birth defects such as defects of muscle, bones, malformed or paralized limbs, a smaller than normal head, blindness, seizures or mental retardation. If a pregnant woman comes in contact with someone who has Chicken Pox, she should call her doctor immediately. An injection may be needed to keep her and her baby safe. If a pregnant woman has had Chicken Pox previous to pregnancy there should be no concern for mother or baby.

The ill child typically has a "slapped-cheek" rash on the face and a lacy red rash on the trunk and limbs. Occasionally, the rash may itch. An ill child may have a low-grade fever, malaise, or a "cold" a few days before the rash breaks out. The child is usually not very ill, and the rash resolves in 7 to 10 days. What causes fifth disease? Fifth disease is caused by infection with human parvovirus B19. This virus infects only humans. Pet dogs or cats may be immunized against "parvovirus," but these are animal parvoviruses that do not infect humans.

Extractions: Expert: Meredith Goodwin, M.D. [See Biography] Question: Meredith Goodwin: Chances are you've already had fifth disease , since most people are exposed to this childhood virus between the ages of 3 and 5. In fact, at least 50 percent of women are immune. If you're not immune, fortunately you're far enough along in your pregnancy that catching the virus should have no effect on your developing baby. But the highly contagious virus can be life-threatening to a developing fetus if the mother becomes infected during the first trimester. Be sure to keep your daughter away from her playmates, as well as other pregnant women, until she is feeling well and no longer has a fever. Fifth disease (also known as "slapped cheeks" disease) is so called because it was the fifth red rash-type disease to be identified. The other four are scarlet fever, measles, rubella, and roseola. In children, fifth disease is a mild illness that may cause a slight respiratory infection, sometimes accompanied by a fever. Adults may have no symptoms, or mild coldlike symptoms, such as sore throat, headache, itching, or fever; rarely, an adult will also feel pain in their joints.

http://www.caringforkids.cps.ca/whensick/FifthDisease.htm

Extractions: Fifth disease is an infection of the respiratory system. It is caused by a virus called parvovirus B19. This virus spreads the same way as a cold virus does: Outbreaks of fifth disease can occur in school-age children. There is no vaccine to prevent the infection and no medication to treat it. How does the infection start? The infection starts as a very red rash on the cheeks, making the face look like it has been slapped. One to four days later, a red, lace-like rash appears, first on the arms, and then on the rest of the body. The rash may last from one to three weeks and may be accompanied by fever. The illness is often very mild. Sometimes, the child may not even feel sick. Adults usually get a more severe case, with fever and painful joints. At least 50% of adults have had fifth disease in childhood and will not get it again if exposed to a child with the infection. Can fifth disease be dangerous?

http://www.dermatologychannel.net/viral_infection/erythema_infectiosum.shtml

Extractions: Erythema infectiosum is caused by parvovirus B19. It is believed to be primarily transmitted by the respiratory route (the B19 virus has been isolated from respiratory secretions during the contagious phase). Once the rash appears, the child is no longer contagious. About one-half of adults are immune to the infection due to previous exposure. Signs and Symptoms The incubation period ranges from 1 to 2 weeks. Elevated quantities of the virus are found in the blood and secretions for about 1 to 2 weeks after exposure. During this time, low-grade fever and malaise may be present. About 2 weeks after exposure, a characteristic rash appears, in three stages. First a slapped check, or sunburned appearance on the childs face occurs. Second, pink, slightly elevated bumps appear on the arms and legs. Finally, after several days, the rash begins to fade, and an overall lacy or marble-like pattern occurs. This last phase of the rash is highly diagnostic of fifth disease. The lacy rash typically resolves in 1 1/2 weeks but can persist more than 3 weeks. After apparent resolution, it may resurface, especially during hot weather. There are some reports of itching.

Extractions: (Fifth Disease) A mild infection caused by a human parvovirus (B19). It is characterized by a facial rash with a "slapped cheek" appearance and a lace-like rash on the trunk and extremities. Reddening of the skin may recur due to nonspecific stimuli such as temperature or sunlight. Low-grade fever and mild systemic symptoms may be seen. Transmission occurs primarily through contact with infectious respiratory secretions. Droplet contact and close person-to-person contact are the modes of transmission. In people with certain red blood cell abnormalities, such as sickle cell disease, this infection can cause an aplastic crisis. Infection with the virus can also cause chronic anemia in immunodeficient people. Infection is most common in school-aged children. Epidemics of the illness can occur in schools, usually in late winter and spring. From 4-14 days; can be as long as 21 days. During the week prior to the appearance of the rash; by the time the rash appears, they are probably no longer infectious.
