“…In humans, maternal microbial infections during pregnancy have been associated with impaired fetal growth. [3, 13, 19, 21, 42, 44, 45]. However, it is unknown if microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) with bacteria or fungi could be associated with SGA neonates in humans.…”

Objective: Microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) has been detected in women with preterm labor, preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM), and in patients at term with PROM or in spontaneous labor. Intrauterine infection is recognized as a potential cause of fetal growth restriction; yet, the frequency of MIAC in pregnancies with small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, diver- sity and relative abundance of microbes in amniotic fluid (AF) of women with an SGA neonate using a combination of culture and molecular methods. Method: AF from 52 subjects with an SGA neonate was analyzed with both cultivation and molecular methods in a retrospective cohort study. Broad-range and group-specific PCR assays targeted small subunit rDNA, or other gene sequences, from bacteria, fungi and archaea. Results of microbiologic studies were correlated with indices of the host inflammatory response. Results: 1) All AF samples (ns52) were negative for microorganisms based on cultivation techniques, whereas 6% (3/52) were positive based on PCR; and 2) intra-amniotic inflammation was detected in one of the three patients with a positive PCR result, as compared with three patients (6.1%) of the 49 with both a negative culture and a negative PCR (Ps0.2). Conclusion: MIAC is detected by PCR in some patients with an SGA fetus who were not in labor at the time of AF collection.

“…Maybe this period of 1 year is too short to identify changes, and therefore we compared our serotype distribution in 1998 -1999 with the serotype distribution that was found in a study on GBS epidemiology in the Netherlands in 1980. 14 As in 1980, serotype III was found frequently in 1997-1999. In 1980, serotype Ib predominated, and in 1997-1999 serotype Ia was more frequently found.…”

ANTIBODY PERSISTENCE AFTER PRIMARY VACCINATION WITH A HEXAVALENT DTPa-HBV-IPV/HIB VACCINE COADMINISTERED WITH A MENINGOCOCCAL C-CRM197 VACCINE AND RESPONSE TO A DTPa-IPV/HIB BOOSTER AT 18 MONTHS OF AGE

Children 17-20 months of age (N = 344) received a diphtheria-tetanus toxoids-acellular pertussis (DTPa)-inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV)/Haemophilus influenzae (Hib) booster after a 3-dose primary vaccination course with DTPa-hepatitis B vaccine-IPV/Hib plus conjugate meningococcal C vaccine-CRM. Seroprotection rates were >80% (diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, polio and polyribosylribitol phosphate) before and > or =96.6% (diphtheria, tetanus, polio and polyribosylribitol phosphate) after booster vaccination. The booster was well-tolerated (fever >39.5 degrees C after <2% of doses; large swelling reactions after 6.3% of doses).
