Abstract Background Ttralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a severe type of congenital heart disease (CHD) and confers substantial risk to mother and fetus. However, the outcomes of pregnant women with TOF have not been well studied. Methods Women with TOF who has been seen and/or delivered at our tertiary-care hospital between April 2008 and January 2018 were retrospective reviewed. Results A total of 31 TOF patients with pregnancies were identified in ten-year period. Among these patients, cardiac defects were surgically repaired in 19 cases and remained uncorrected in 12 women. The frequency of miscarriages and preterm birth was greater in the uncorrected group (16.67% vs one, and 50% vs 5.26%, respectively). The percentage of babies who were small for gestational age (SGA) was 41.67% and 10.53% in two groups. The neonatal mortality and fetal mortality were observed in women without correction for TOF, which were 3.23% (1/31) and 6.45(2/31), respectively. Maternal and neonatal risk appeared to be associated with heart functional classifications, pulmonary hypertension and histories of cardiac events such as serious cardiac arrhythmias. Conclusions Obstetric and cardiac complications are more frequently present in the pregnant women with uncorrected TOF. Surgical correction is associated with improved maternal and perinatal outcome.

Abstract Background Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a severe type of congenital heart disease (CHD) and it confers substantial risk to mother and fetus for pregnant women. However, the outcome of pregnancy in women with TOF has not been well studied. Methods Women with TOF who have been seen and/or delivered at our tertiary-care hospital between April 2008 and January 2018 were retrospective reviewed. Results A total of 31 pregnant women with TOF were identified during ten-year period. Among these patients, cardiac defects remained uncorrected in 12 women and were surgically repaired in 19 women. The frequency of miscarriages, premature birth, and the percentage of neonates of small for gestational age (SGA) were greater in the uncorrected group than the surgically repaired group (16.67% vs 0, 50% vs 5.26, 41.67% vs 10.53% respectively). The neonatal mortality and fetal mortality were not observed in the surgically repaired group, but were observed in the uncorrected group [3.23% (1/31) and 6.45(2/31) respectively]. Furthermore, the obstetric and cardiac complications in the two groups were stratified and analyzed. Conclusions Surgical correction of TOF is associated with improved maternal and perinatal outcome. However, pregnancy in women with uncorrected TOF was still seen and it was observed at a rate of 1.4/10,000 in our medical center during ten year period. The high degree of ventricular dilatation heart, high functional classifications, serious cardiac arrhythmias and pulmonary hypertension appeared to be associated with maternal and neonatal risks.

Introduction: Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the presence of actively multiplying bacteria within the urinary tract with absence of any symptoms, resulting in adverse pregnancy outcomes. This research study was done in order to review prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility profile, and factors associated with ASB occurring in female patients who are pregnant and being treated at a tertiary care hospital in Lucknow, India. Method and Materials: This is a cross-sectional study done among 216 pregnant women attending a hospital for antenatal check-ups. Clean catch midstream urine samples were collected and examined microscopically, and semi-quantitative culture was done on blood agar and MacConkey agar. Isolates were identified by colony morphology and biochemical tests, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by using the Kirby-Bauer method. Results: Of the 216 pregnant women, 36 (16.7%) tested positive for ASB. The female gestational period, haemoglobin level, and BMI were significantly associated with ASB. Logistic regression also showed that higher haemoglobin level was less likely to ASB (AOR = 0.42, 95% confidence interval: 0.202–0.88, p = 0.021). The predominant and usual isolates were E. coli (n = 22, 61.1%), followed by Cons (n = 6, 16.7%), and S. aureus (3, 8.3%). All Gram-negative isolates were mostly sensitive to most of the drugs like piperacillin-tazobactam, cefepime, nitrofurantoin, and meropenem but were 100% resistant to ampicillin. Similarly, Gram-positive isolates were sensitive to ampicillin, vancomycin, linezolid, and nitrofurantoin but 100% resistant to co-trimoxazole. Conclusion: The present study shows the existence of ASB was 16.7% among women who are pregnant. Pregnancy duration, haemoglobin level, and BMI were significantly associated with ASB. The isolates identified more frequently were E. coli (61.16%), Cons (16.7%), and S. aureus (8.3%). All isolates which were Gram-negative were mostly sensitive to most of the drugs but were 100% resistant to ampicillin. Similarly, Gram-positive isolates were sensitive to most of the drugs but 100% resistant to co-trimoxazole.

ABSTRACTPityriasis Rosea is a self-limiting skin disorder of unknown etiology affecting women more than men. It is very rare in pregnancy and evidence shows conflicting reports on pregnancy outcomes related to Pityriasis Rosea. But however recent evidence says, pregnancy outcomes are not altered, although clinicians must monitor the patient throughout the gestation for adverse outcomes. Hence, we report a case of Pityriasis Rosea infection in a primigravida, in the first trimester and the follow up done in a tertiary care hospital in Southern India.KEYWORDSRASH, FIRST TRIMESTER, ANOMALY SCAN, HUMAN HERPES VIRUS
