THE FEBRILE PREGNANT WOMAN

For the most part, pregnant women get the same infections as non-pregnant individuals and can receive similar treatment. However, some important pregnancy related issues must be considered in the assessment and treatment of the febrile pregnant woman.

Antibiotics Most of the commonly used antibiotics have a good track record in pregnancy. However, Tetracycline, the fluoroquinolunes (e.g. Ciprofloxacin®) should be avoided when possible in pregnancy. The penicillins, cephalosporins, and amnioglycosides do not appear to have significant fetal effects.

The Common Cold Symptomatic relief of upper respiratory tract infections can be provided through the use of acetaminophen (Tylenol®), pseudoephedrine (Sudafed®), codeine containing cough syrups, and diphenhydramine (Benadryl®). Do not overdiagnose sinusitis in pregnancy.

TORCH and Parvovirus Parvovirus and the TORCH infections (Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, CMV, Herpes and Syphilis) can cause fetal mutation and disease and should be considered in every febrile pregnant woman.

Primary Varicella Infection Primary varicella infection in pregnancy is associated with a high risk of pneumonitis. Non-immune pregnant women exposed to varicella should be treated prophylactically with VZIG.

Viral Hepatitis The most significant risk of hepatitis B and C in pregnancy is that of maternal-fetal transmission. Hepatitis E however, can take a particularly fulminant course in pregnancy that often results in hepatic failure.

HIV The course of HIV is not affected by pregnancy and the main risk HIV represents to the fetus is that of maternal-fetal transmission. Maternal-fetal transmission without intervention is on the order of 30%. Use of AZT decreases the maternal-fetal transmission from 30% to 8%. Triple therapy probably decreases the risk of transmission even further.

HIV AZT is well tolerated by the fetus. Prophylaxis for opportunistic infections should be given in the same manner for pregnant women with HIV infection as they are for nonpregnant women with HIV infection.

Urinary Tract Infections Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) should be screened for in all pregnant women and treated because of the strong relationship between ASB and pyelonephritis in pregnancy. Pyelonephritis in pregnancy is associated with preterm labor and pulmonary edema and therefore, should almost always be treated as an inpatient.

Urinary Tract Infections Any woman who has had pyelonephritis in pregnancy warrants subsequent antibiotic prophylaxis during the pregnancy because of a high recurrence risk.

Listeria Pregnant women, like the elderly and alcoholic, have a predisposition toward listeria septicemia. This is a rapidly progressive and life threatening infection that often results in fetal loss. Treatment must be with Ampicillin as cephalosporins do not cover this organism.

Chorioamnionitis Chorioamnionitis presents with a maternal fever, fetal tachycardia and possibly uterine tenderness. The diagnosis is made by an amniocentesis. Treatment is always delivery.

Endometritis Prolonged rupture of membranes, instrumentation and cesarean section are all risk factors for endometritis. Endometritis in the first few days postpartum is usually caused by ascending Group A/B streptococci, Enterobacteriociae and Bacteroides. Endometritis presenting more than 7 days postpartum may be caused by chlamydia or mycoplasma hominis.

Endometritis Treatment regimens for endometritis occurring in the first 48 hours include:cefoxitin and doxycycline, gentamycin and clindamycin; or ampicillin/sulbactam and doxycycline. Once a patient has been afebrile for 48 hours, the antibiotics may be discontinued and no oral antibiotic course is necessary However, endometritis presenting more than 7 days postpartum warrants a complete 14 day course of doxycycline.

Septic Pelvic Thrombophlebitis Persistent fevers in the setting of what seems like postpartum endometritis can be a sign of septic pelvic thrombophlebitis. Traditionally, this entity was treated with an empiric short course of heparin. It is our practice, however, first to confirm the diagnosis with ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI of the pelvis and if present, treat with a 3 month course of anticoagulation.
