“…CpG ODN administered during pregnancy did not induce abortion, birth defects, or reduce the size or health of litters. These findings suggest that CpG ODN may provide a safe and effective means of improving the health of mothers and fetuses during pregnancy.Pregnancy leads to a generalized suppression of the adaptive immune system, typified by significantly decreased cell-mediated immunity and reduced Th1 responsiveness (25,31,33,38,39). This immunosuppressed state prevents maternal rejection of the fetus (31, 33) but has the unfortunate consequence of increasing maternal susceptibility to certain infectious agents (24,35).…”

“…Durante a gravidez, ocorrem mudanças no sistema imune para proteger o feto, sem comprometer as defesas maternas. A secreção local de corticosteróides, provenientes da glândula supra-renal, e mudanças na concentração de citocinas no sistema reprodutor protegem o feto contra rejeição 9 . Ocorrem também alterações no balanço de citocinas Th1 / Th2, com predominância de Th2, que faz parte das reações alérgicas 10 .…”

“…It is presupposed that the physiological changes of pregnancy like suppression of the T-cell mediated immunity and high levels of hormones like steroids, oestrogen and progesterone contribute to development of severe forms of infectious diseases and lead to maternal mortality. 2,3 As the incidence of infectious diseases is high in developing countries like India, with lower respiratory tract infections, HIV/AIDS, diarrhoeal diseases, malaria, tuberculosis etc. being the leading causes of death in low-income countries, it is imperative to determine the burden of these diseases on maternal mortality.…”
