Term - 40
Neonate: Touch develops at what gestational age?
8-15 weeks
Neonate: Taste develops at what gestational age?
13 weeks
Neonate: Hearing develops at what gestational age?
20 wks
Neonate: Sight develops at what gestational age?
29 weeks
Neonate: Smell develops at what gestational age?

Neonate: TORCHes describes common microorganisms that can cause infection during fetal growth/development.
List these
Toxoplasmosis Other (HBV, syphillis, VZV, EBV, coxsackie, parvo) Rubella Cytomegalovirus Herpes (HSV)
Neonate: An infection caused by exposure to undercooked meat (pork), consumption of pasteurized milk, or exposure to cat feces during pregnancy.
The most significant risk factor is maternal primary infection during pregnancy
Toxoplasmosis
Neonate: A mother comes into the clinic complaining that her 3 week old child has been having frequent seizures. Upon physical exam, you note hepatosplenomegaly.
Further workup reveals:
- intracranial calcifications
- hydrocephalus
- chorioretinitis.
You suspect
Toxoplasmosis
- obstructive hydrocephalus, IUGR, ocular and CNS disease
- abortion or stillbirths
Neonate: You deliver a baby to a mother suspected to be an I.V. drug user. Her baby is born prematurely and you note low birth weight. However, no symptoms are infection are noted.
What should you be concerned about?
HBV infection
- newborns asymptomatic but low birth weight
- maternal risk factors: IVDA, multiple sex partners, healthcare workers, Asian ethnicity
Neonate: You deliver a baby to a mother with a history of IV drug abuse. She is HBV positive and you suspect her newborn to be also. What is the Tx for HBV infection?
vaccine + HBIG
*test mothers
Neonate: Infection by this virus occurs during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy OR between 5 days before delivery until 2 days post. Common characteristics of infection include:
- cutaneous lesions
- eye and limb abnormalities
- pneumonia
- encephalopathy
- severe mental deficiency
- early death
Maternal risk factor is non-immune status.
Varicella Zoster virus (VZV)
*vaccine contraindicated in pregnancy (live virus)
Neonate: Infection by this virus most often causes anemia, CHF and hydrops in the fetus.
A newborn may present with the above symptoms, or may be asymptomatic.
Parvo B19
Tx: supportive
Neonate: A concerned mother presents to your clinic complaining her newborn has a new rash. Upon examination, you note:
- Hearing loss
- Cataracts
- Blueberry muffin rash
- Congenital Heart defect
You suspect
Rubella
- sensorineural hearing loss
- cardiac
- salt and pepper retinopathy
*First 20 weeks
Neonate: This virus affects the fetus with Intrauterine growth retardation (symmetric). Newborns are typically asymptomatic, but may present with
- Petechial rash (similar to blueberry muffin)
- microcephaly
- periventricular calcifications
- hearing loss
- mortality (liver failure, DIC, sepsis)
Cytomegalovirus
- maternal risk factor: infection during first 1/2 of pregnancy
- Tx: gancyclovir - hearing loss
Neonate: A newborn presents at birth with a maculopapular skin rash, “snuffles”, hepatomegaly and osteochondritis.
You treat with Penicillin G, which successfully rids the newborn of the infection.
What was the cause?
Treponema pallidum (Syphillis)
- maculopapular
- snuffles (mucupurulent rhinitis)
- osteochondritis
- lymphadenopathy
- hepatomegaly
Dx: VDRL, RPR, FTA abs
Neonate: Neonatal presenation of this disease varies based on the age of the newborn. Congenital infection is rare, but affects the fetus’s brain, eyes and skin.
HSV
*maternal risk factor: primary genital lesion during delivery (HSV 2)
Neonate: A newborn presents with his mother at 4-10 days of life with fever, lethargy, poor oral intake. On PE, you note hepatomegaly. You order tests and find that he is positive for HSV with CNS deficits and SEM.
This version of HSV has high morbidity (30-80%) and mortality (30%).
Disseminated
Neonate: A newborn presents with his mother at 6-9 days of life with conjunctivitis, keratitis and papulovesicular lesions. You order tests and find that he is positive for a HSV infection. You tell his mother that with treatment, he has a >90% chance of normal development.
What type of disease (disseminated, SEM, or CNS) is this?
SEM (skin, eye, mucous membrane)
Neonate: Neonate: A newborn presents with his mother at 10-18 days of life with fever, lethargy, apnea and seizures.
On PE, you note bulging fontanels. You order tests and find that he is positive for HSV with skin and CNS involvement. What type of disease (disseminated, SEM, or CNS) is this?
Encephalitis
Neonate: A teratogen that can cause hypoplasia of the skull, renal tubular dysgenesis, and limb deformations
ACE inhibitor
Neonate: A teratogen that can cause a long smooth philtrum, thin upper lip, VSD, microcephaly , IGUR, and behavioral issues
alcohol
*epicanthal folds, low nasal bridge, micrognathia, flat midface
