During pregnancy, physiological changes in the immune response make pregnant women more susceptible to serious infection, increasing the risk for the mother as well as the foetus, newborn and infant. All women should be correctly and fully vaccinated as they enter their reproductive years, especially against diseases such as tetanus, hepatitis B, measles, rubella and varicella. In addition to the recommended vaccines, in risk situations, inactivated vaccines could be administered to women who were not correctly vaccinated before, while attenuated vaccines are contraindicated.

- * A case study of fetal junctional epidermolysis bullosa in a consanguineous couple highlights antenatal ultrasound signs like polyhydramnios and skin desquamation, suggesting the condition's presence.
- * The study introduces a new ultrasound sign - marked perioral hipoecogenicity - which may aid in diagnosing the disease, while also emphasizing the challenges of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis.
Background: Pertussis immunization during pregnancy is recommended in many countries. Data from large randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of this approach.
Methods: This phase IV, observer-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial assessed immunogenicity, transplacental transfer of maternal pertussis antibodies, reactogenicity and safety of a reduced-antigen-content diphtheria-tetanus-three-component acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) during pregnancy.
Background: The association between Patau's syndrome and multiple pregnancy is extremely rare. This paper reports three cases with different obstetric treatment. CASE 1: Dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy with a fetus affected by trisomy 13 diagnosed at 16 weeks of gestation.

Objective: To review the outcome of twin pregnancies complicated by single fetal intrauterine death and how it can increase morbidity to its co-twin and its mother.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of the fifty one twin pregnancies complicated by single fetal intrauterine death in the second or third trimester in our centre from December 1999 to December 2010.
