    Abstract The decision to implement screening for infections during pregnancy depends upon epidemiological, economic, therapeutic and test performance criteria. It therefore varies with public health priorities from country to country. When screening is implemented, the first trimester has become the best time slot to build individual care pathways in this field. This is most relevant for evaluating the risk of embryonic consequences, planning diagnostic testing, initiating primary or secondary prevention and optimising the accuracy of ultrasound follow-up. This article is a critical appraisal of epidemiological data and current international screening recommendations for infections in pregnancy. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Screening for infections in pregnancy: a critical review of current epidemiological evidence and international guidelines.

    Title translation Use of anti-IL-1 drugs during pregnancy.
    Abstract Anti-Interleukin-1 (Anti-IL-1) drugs are used to treat some chronic rheumatic diseases that can affect young people, including women of childbearing age. Two anti-IL-1 drugs are available in France: anakinra and canakinumab. Data on their use during pregnancy are still limited. Based on the published literature, we carried out a review of the use of these anti-IL-1 therapies during pregnancy: therapeutic indications, pharmacological profiles and assessment of embryonic, fetal and neonatal risks. Based on this analysis, and given the absence of any reported concern, it is possible to consider the use of these two treatments during pregnancy if the clinical situation so requires and under certain conditions. Based on the data available to date, anakinra should be preferred to canakinumab whenever possible.

    Abstract Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) maternal primary infection (MPI) in early pregnancy is the main risk factor for congenital CMV (cCMV) infection with long-term sequelae. Our aim was to evaluate, in a single center offering CMV serology screening at 11-14 gestational weeks, secondary prevention of cCMV by administration of high-dosage maternal oral valacyclovir (VACV) in the first trimester of pregnancy.
    Methods: This was a case-control study in a longitudinal cohort of pregnancies with CMV-MPI diagnosed prior to 14 weeks of gestation by serology screening (immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG measurement and IgG avidity) between 2009 and 2020. From October 2019 onwards, all women presenting at our center with MPI before 14 weeks' gestation were offered treatment with high-dosage oral VACV (8 g/day, 4 g twice/day). We used propensity score matching to compare fetal infection rates in cases treated with maternal oral VACV (8 g/day) with those in untreated controls. Fetal infection was assessed following amniocentesis at 17-22 weeks of gestation, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of amniotic fluid for viral DNA.
    Results: Of 310 cases of CMV-MPI identified, 269 underwent amniocentesis for PCR. Of these, 66 were offered, and 65 accepted, treatment with VACV. From the remaining untreated cases, we selected 65 controls, matched for proportion of periconceptional infections and gestational age at amniocentesis. VACV was initiated at a median gestational age of 12.71 (interquartile range (IQR), 10.00-13.86) weeks and the median duration of treatment was 35 (IQR, 26-54) days. On multivariate logistic regression, fetal infection was lower in the treated group (odds ratio, 0.318 (95% CI, 0.120-0.841); P = 0.021). One treated patient developed acute renal failure 4 weeks after initiation of VACV therapy, but this resolved within 5 days after treatment was stopped.
    Conclusion: This study confirms the acceptability, tolerance and benefit of secondary prevention by VACV of cCMV infection in a clinical setting with a well-established routine maternal serum screening policy in the first trimester of pregnancy. © 2021 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

    Abstract Objective: Placental infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can lead to placental insufficiency and in-utero fetal death (IUFD). The objective of this study was to confirm and quantify the extent to which fetoplacental infection with SARS-CoV-2 is a cause of fetal death.
    Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study of fetal deaths that underwent postmortem examination between January 2020 and January 2022 in three fetal pathology units in Paris, France. All cases of IUFD and termination of pregnancy (TOP) occurring in 31 maternity hospitals in the Paris region undergo detailed placental pathological examination in these units. Databases were searched for cases of IUFD and TOP. Cases with fetal malformation or cytogenetic abnormality were excluded to avoid bias. We included cases of IUFD with a placental or undetermined cause and cases of TOP in the context of severe intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Placentas were sent to a single virology unit for reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing by a single laboratory technician blinded to the initial postmortem examination report. Our primary endpoint was the proportion of positive placental SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests in the cohort.
    Results: Among 147 722 deliveries occurring over 2 years, 788 postmortem examinations for IUFD and TOP for severe IUGR were recorded, of which 462 (58.6%) were included. A total of 13/462 (2.8%) placentas tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR. Wild-type virus and alpha and delta variants were identified. All positive cases had histological lesions consistent with placental dysfunction. There was a strong correlation between SARS-CoV-2 placentitis and the presence of chronic intervillositis and/or massive fibrin deposits in the placenta. When both lesion types were present, the specificity and negative predictive value for the diagnosis of placental SARS-CoV-2 infection were 0.99 (95% CI, 0.98-1.00) and 0.96 (95% CI, 0.94-0.98), respectively.
    Conclusions: At the height of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the cause of more than half of fetal deaths in the Paris area was determined by postmortem analysis to be of placental or undetermined origin. Of these cases, 2.8% were due to placental SARS-CoV-2 infection with a specific pattern of histological involvement. This study highlights the need for SARS-CoV-2 screening in stillbirth assessment. The impact of vaccination coverage remains to be established. © 2023 The Authors.

    Abstract Objective: Recent studies have shown that a dosage of 8 g/d of oral valacyclovir reduces substantially the vertical transmission rate of cytomegalovirus in women with primary cytomegalovirus infection acquired periconceptionally or during the first trimester of pregnancy. This individual patient data meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of valacyclovir treatment in the secondary prevention of congenital cytomegalovirus infection.
    Data sources: MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the US registry of clinical trials (www.
    Clinicaltrials: gov), and gray literature sources were searched from inception to March 2023.
    Study eligibility criteria: Randomized controlled trials and quasi-randomized studies administering 8 g/d of oral valacyclovir in pregnant women with primary cytomegalovirus infection acquired periconceptionally or during the first trimester of pregnancy were included.
    Methods: All corresponding authors of the eligible studies were contacted. Cochrane's Risk of Bias 2 and Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies - of Interventions tools were used for the risk of bias assessment. The result of amniocentesis was the primary outcome of interest. A 1-stage individual patient data meta-analysis was performed, using a generalized linear mixed model, clustered by the different trials. A subgroup analysis was performed, assessing separately the effect of valacyclovir in the periconceptional period and first trimester of pregnancy.
    Results: Overall, 3 studies were included in the analysis (n=527 women). Valacyclovir reduced the vertical transmission rate of cytomegalovirus (adjusted odds ratio, 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.18-0.61). This reduction was apparent for both periconceptional period (adjusted odds ratio, 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.12-0.96) and first-trimester (adjusted odds ratio, 0.35; 95% confidence interval, 0.16-0.76) infections. Moreover, valacyclovir reduced the rate of neonatal infection (adjusted odds ratio, 0.30; 95% confidence interval, 0.19-0.47), in both periconceptional period (adjusted odds ratio, 0.30; 95% confidence interval, 0.14-0.61) and first-trimester (adjusted odds ratio, 0.30; 95% confidence interval, 0.17-0.54) infections. Furthermore, valacyclovir reduced the rate of termination of pregnancy because of cytomegalovirus-associated severe fetal findings (adjusted odds ratio, 0.23; 95% confidence interval, 0.22-0.24). The gestational age at the initiation of treatment has a positive correlation with all outcomes. The overall prevalence of severe side effects was 2.1%.
    Conclusion: A dosage of 8 g/d of oral valacyclovir reduced the vertical transmission rates of cytomegalovirus following primary maternal infection acquired periconceptionally or in the first trimester of pregnancy, with a low incidence of side effects.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of amplification of the viral genome by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of trophoblast samples obtained by chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in cases of maternal primary infection (MPI) with cytomegalovirus (CMV) in early pregnancy.
    Methods: This was a prospective study carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and Fetal Medicine, Hopital Necker-E.M., between October 2019 and October 2020. Following CMV serology screening in early pregnancy, CVS was offered to women at 11-14 weeks' gestation after CMV-MPI ≤ 10 weeks. Array-comparative genomic hybridization and amplification of the viral genome by PCR were performed on the trophoblasts obtained by CVS. All cases also underwent amniocentesis from 17 weeks onwards and PCR was performed on the amniotic fluid. Secondary prevention with valacyclovir was initiated as soon as MPI was diagnosed, to decrease the risk of vertical transmission. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of CMV-PCR of trophoblast obtained by CVS, using as the reference standard PCR of amniotic fluid obtained by amniocentesis.
    Results: CVS was performed in 37 pregnancies, at a median (range) gestational age of 12.7 (11.3-14.4) weeks. CMV-PCR in chorionic villi was positive in three and negative in 34 cases. CMV-PCR following amniocentesis, performed at a median (range) gestational age of 17.6 (16.7-29.9) weeks, was positive for the three cases which were positive following CVS and, of the 34 patients with a negative finding following CVS, amniocentesis was negative in 31 and positive in three. The sensitivity of CMV-PCR analysis of trophoblast obtained by CVS for the diagnosis of CMV, using as the reference standard PCR analysis of amniotic fluid obtained by amniocentesis, was 50% (95% CI, 19-81%), specificity was 100% (95% CI, 89-100%), positive predictive value was 100% (95% CI, 44-100%) and negative predictive value was 91% (95% CI, 77-97%).
    Conclusions: Diagnosis of placental infection following MPI in early pregnancy can be achieved by PCR amplification of the CMV genome in chorionic villi. We propose that negative CMV-PCR in the trophoblast after 12 weeks could be used to exclude CMV-related embryopathy leading to sequelae. However, this needs to be confirmed through long-term follow-up evaluation. These findings could help to establish CVS as the diagnostic test of choice following maternal serology screening in early pregnancy. © 2021 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
