- Abstract
Congenital infections are one of the main causes of fetal-neonatal morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study was to analyze human TORCH and Parvovirus B19 infections in pregnant women and their therapeutic and diagnostic implications. A documentary design was used by means of a bibliographic search in scientific databases such as: PubMed. Elsevier, Scielo, Redalyc, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, Dialnet, and DOAJ, using as keywords: Toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, rubella, syphilis, herpes simplex, HIV, human Parvovirus B19. Articles in English and Spanish published from 2015 onwards, selected under inclusion and exclusion criteria, were included. Congenital infections remain common in developing countries, with significant complications and even death; hence the importance of monitoring and diagnosing pregnant women. It is evident that these infections are a public health problem, the most frequent being caused by cytomegalovirus. Serological and molecular tests of high sensitivity and specificity are used for an accurate diagnosis. In the epidemiological and therapeutic implications, prevention for rubella, therapeutic approach and cesarean section are evidenced, in order to reduce perinatal consequences such as central nervous system involvement and congenital malformations that represent a high risk of abortion and fetal death.
