Maternal morbidity and perinatal outcomes among pregnant women with respiratory hospitalizations during influenza season

TL;DR: Those with asthma accounted for half of all respiratory-related hospitalizations during influenza seasons, with 6% of pregnant women with asthma requiring respiratory hospitalization during influenza season, compared with women without a medical comorbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal Immunization with Influenza or Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine for Passive Antibody Protection in Young Infants

TL;DR: Maternal immunization resulted in higher infant levels of vaccine-specific IgG antibody but not in the transfer of specific T lymphocyte response(s) or production of neonatal IgM antibody.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influenza virus infection in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy: a clinical and seroepidemiological study

TL;DR: Whether maternal influenza virus infection in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy results in transplacental transmission of infection, maternal auto‐antibody production or an increase in complications of pregnancy is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neonatal outcomes after influenza immunization during pregnancy: a randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: During the period with circulating influenza virus, maternal immunization during pregnancy was associated with a lower proportion of infants who were small for gestational age and an increase in mean birth weight, suggesting that prevention of influenza infection in pregnancy can influence intrauterine growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal influenza infection is likely to alter fetal brain development indirectly: the virus is not detected in the fetus

TL;DR: RT–PCR was used to assay various maternal and fetal tissues for influenza A mRNAs coding for neuraminidase, non‐structural protein 2, nuclear protein and matrix protein to determine the extent of viral spread following maternal respiratory infection.

Depressed maternal lymphocyte response to phytohæmagglutinin in human pregnancy

TL;DR: The hypothesis that there is depressed cell-mediated immunity in pregnant women as shown by the reduction in lymphocyte responses to P.H.A., certain microorganisms, malignancies, homografts, and the conceptus is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protection of Infants from Infection with Influenza A Virus by Transplacentally Acquired Antibody

TL;DR: Because passively transferred maternal antibody to influenza virus may prevent symptomatic infection in young infants, vaccination of pregnant women could be beneficial.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secretory and systemic immunological response in children infected with live attenuated influenza A virus vaccines.

TL;DR: Intranasal vaccination of susceptible children with live, attenuated, cold-adapted influenza A viruses efficiently stimulates both systemic and local antibody responses, and a good correlation between the level of nasal-wash antibodies measured by the HA-specific IgA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and by a plaque neutralization assay is indicated.

Immunization of Pregnant Women with Influenza A/New Jersey/76 Virus Vaccine: Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity in Mother and Infant

TL;DR: It is possible that immunization of pregnant women can provide sufficient protection of the newborn infants by transfer of antibodies through the placenta if (1) a more potent influenza vaccine, possibly used with booster dosing, is administered, and the women deliver just prior to or during the influenza season.
