The Société de Pathologie Infectieuse de Langue Française released in 2024 a new national recommendation for clinical practice on the prevention and management of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection during pregnancy and the perinatal period. The previous recommendation was issued in 1998, at a time of anti-VZV immunoglobulins shortage; it has hence become obsolete. This recommendation is a formalized expert consensus focusing on infectious diseases management; it is drawn up by a multidisciplinary working group (infectiologists, obstetricians, pediatricians, microbiologists, midwives, hygienists).

Vertical transmission, or mother-to-child transmission, of bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection is rare due to the success of the barrier functions of the placental maternal-fetal interface, which provides physical, molecular, and immunological mechanisms to protect the developing fetus. Infections in pregnancy that can cross the placenta and reach the fetus can cause fetal loss, stillbirth, or prematurity or can lead to congenital infection, malformation of organs, and neonatal disease at birth. The acronym TORCH stands for Toxoplasma gondii, other, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus (HSV).

Article Synopsis
- - Fetal liver calcifications (FLCs) are areas of increased echogenicity in the fetal liver, occurring in about 5-10 per 10,000 births, and while often associated with various health issues, isolated cases typically have a good prognosis.
- - The article discusses a case of a 29-year-old woman with a normal first-trimester screening who later showed FLCs during her 20-week scan without any other fetal problems.
- - After thorough monitoring and testing throughout her pregnancy, she delivered a healthy male baby, and subsequent evaluations confirmed his good health, highlighting the positive outcomes related to isolated FLCs.
Double umbilical artery converging into a single umbilical artery: A case report.

Rationale: The normal structure and Doppler parameters of the umbilical cord are closely related to many diseases, including fetal infection, chromosomal abnormalities, hypoxia, and growth and development restrictions. We report a case of bilateral umbilical artery confluence resulting in the formation of a single umbilical artery in the free segment of the fetal umbilical cord, diagnosed at 24 weeks and 4 days gestation. The fetus was born prematurely after premature membrane rupture at 31 weeks and 3 days gestation.

BackgroundParents' educational background is presumed to influence the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases in children through their decisions about vaccinations and other family lifestyle choices. Regarding voluntary vaccination, a household's economic situation may also be associated with non-vaccination. Therefore, this study investigated the association between parental education and vaccine-preventable diseases (varicella, mumps, influenza [flu], pertussis, measles, and rubella) in children, which currently remains elusive.
