Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a common vascular pregnancy disorder affecting maternal and fetal metabolism with severe immediate and long-term consequences in mothers and infants. During pregnancy, metabolites in the maternal circulation pass through the placenta to the fetus. Meconium, a first stool of the neonate, offers a view to maternal and fetoplacental unit metabolism and could add to knowledge on the effects of PE on the fetus and newborn.

A Review of Emerging Viral Pathogens and Current Concerns for Vertical Transmission of Infection.

Med Sci Monit

November 2024

Science Editor, Medical Science Monitor, International Scientific Information, Inc., Melville, NY, USA.

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).
