Coxsackievirus B Infection Is Highly Related with Missed Abortion in Korea

Abstract: PurposeThis study investigated the possible relationship between viral infection and first trimester pregnancy loss.Materials and MethodsA prospective study was performed on 51 gravidas with missed abortion, fetal anomaly, pre-term delivery, and full-tem delivery at Hanyang University Hospital. Enteroviruses were detected by semi-nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry in abortive tissues and placentas. Enterovirus serotypes were confirmed by genome sequencing. … Show more

“…Infections with Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) during late pregnancy and delivery have been reported to have significant effects on the fetus, including neurological defects, encephalitis, myocarditis, meningitis, and even death [55][56][57]. According to Hwang et al, when cases of early pregnancy loss were analyzed for the prevalence of enterovirus infection using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, the rate of CVB3 infection in cases of abortion was 57.1% [58]. Despite the high rate of fetal death associated with CVB infections, there are limited data regarding the outcome of infection during early pregnancy, since early maternal infections are commonly asymptomatic and therefore undetected.…”

“…Transmission of EVs from a mother to the fetus and newborn may be antenatal, perinatal, at the time of delivery, or postnatal [2,3]. Existence of several case reports suggest that EV infections during pregnancy may cause meningitis, preterm delivery, neonatal myocarditis, fetal growth retardation, or even embryopathy [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, intrauterine transmission of EVs is nevertheless discussed with ambiguity.…”
