An early marker of fetal infection after primary cytomegalovirus infection in pregnancy.

Fourteen patients with primary cytomegalovirus infection diagnosed by serological screening at antenatal attendances were examined for their responses in the lymphocyte transformation test against cytomegalovirus. Tests were done during pregnancy, shortly after the diagnosis of primary infection. Eight women showed positive lymphocyte transformation responses and gave birth to uninfected babies. Six showed negative responses and four of the babies were born congenitally infected. Cellular immunity therefore plays a part in preventing intrauterine transmission of cytomegalovirus, and its depression after primary infection in the mother during pregnancy may be used as an early marker of fetal infection.

Platelet 3H-imipramine binding in pregnancy and the puerperium.

Platelet 3H-imipramine binding was examined in a cross-sectional study of 70 Caucasian women in pregnancy and the early post-partum period, and in 23 nonpregnant women of childbearing age. Mood was also assessed in the pregnancy and post-partum sample. No significant differences in number of binding sites (Bmax) were found, but an increase in the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) was demonstrated at 5-7 days post-partum.
