The goal of this research was to evaluate seropositivity to HSV-1 among pregnant women and its effect on the course of pregnancy, childbirth and the condition of newborns. Methods: The serological status, socio-demographic characteristics, parity of pregnancy and childbirth and condition of newborns in women seronegative and seropositive to HSV-1 with recurrent infection and its latent course during pregnancy were analyzed. Newborns from these mothers made up the corresponding groups. Results: Low titers of IgG antibodies to HSV-1 in women in the first trimester of pregnancy are associated with threatened miscarriage, anemia in pregnancy and chronic placental insufficiency. High titers of IgG antibodies to HSV-1 in women in the second trimester of pregnancy are associated with late miscarriages and premature births, anemia in pregnancy, chronic placental insufficiency, labor anomalies, early neonatal complications (cerebral ischemia, respiratory distress syndrome) and localized skin rashes. Low titers of IgG antibodies to HSV-1 in women in the third trimester of pregnancy are associated with premature birth, anemia in pregnancy, chronic placental insufficiency, endometritis, complications of the early neonatal period and localized skin rashes. Conclusions: Our research showed that low or high titers of IgG antibodies to HSV-1, determined by the timing of recurrence of infection during pregnancy, are associated with a high incidence of somatic pathology and complications in pregnancy, childbirth and the neonatal period.

A Spanish edition of the Children's Bureau publication, "When Your Baby Is On The Way," should help many Spanish speaking citizens learn about good health practices during pregnancy. The original English edition was published in response to requests from public health officials for an extremely simple version of the information contained in the larger publication, "Prenatal Care," which the Bureau has been issuing since its earliest days. Taking the form of a picture leaflet which can be read quickly, "When Your Baby Is On The Way" describes the steps the mother needs to take during her pregnancy, as well as how she can best use the health facilities in her community. The Spanish edition of the publication, like the English, is geared to meet a special need for good health advice at the lower socio-economic levels where complications in pregnancy and childbirth are most prevalent. Since its publication in October of 1961, some 100,000 copies of the English edition have been sold. Some 23,000 copies have been distributed by the Children's Bureau. "Mientras Su Bebe Esta En Camino" may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C., for 20 cents a copy.
