Seroepidemiology of Toxoplasma, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus and Herpes Simplex Virus -2 in Women with Bad Obstetric History. PART II. Cytomegalovirus and Herpes Simplex Virus Infections

Abstract: Bad obstetric history (BOH) is reported worldwide and is associated with social and psychological impacts. Cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus play an important role in the induction of adverse outcomes of pregnancy. Highest CMV IgG prevalence rate was reported for India (91.05%), while the lowest rate was reported for Iran (14.28%). Unfortunately, six studies in Iraq reported a high prevalence of CMV IgM in non-married, pregnant and women with BOH. The range of recent CMV infection in pregnant women with… Show more

“…Because the infection is common in women of reproductive age it can be contracted and transmitted to the fetus during pregnancy and the newborn [15,19]. Herpes simplex virus is an important cause of neonatal infection, which can lead to death or long-term disabilities.…”

“…In addition, antenatal care services may not have the capacity to routinely screen for maternal infections, especially those that are asymptomatic and those that require serological tests such as PCR and ELISA to diagnose, due to limited resources or expertise. These infrastructural problems are essential contributors to the persistence of high maternal morbidity and mortality in developing countries and need to be overcome in order to accurately characterize the burden of maternal infections in these countries, including Iraq [19]. This literature review highlights the high microbial maternal infection rates in the developing world, including Iraq.…”
