Presentation
In infants who are live-born, effects of fetal infection may present as preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), congenital anomalies, or local or systemic signs of infection. [accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com]
It presents as a large number of firmly adherent, small, white plaques that may interfere with feeding by making the mouth sore. [patient.info]

The condition sometimes presents without a rash, making bedside diagnosis impossible, and up to 40% of patients may never realise that they have been affected. [diapedia.org]

Dried umbilical cord (DUC) samples were collected in filter paper for CMV, B19V and EV detection by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) to test for CMV by RT-PCR. [isglobal.org]
In addition, a NPA was collected from neonates within the first two hours from birth, using a bulb aspiration kit conveniently pre-filled with sterile saline (M-PRO NPAK nasopharyngeal aspiration kit®). [journals.plos.org]
In the 2015–2019 period, we diagnosed 23 cases of EV infection in newborns aged less than 10 days through detection in throat swab or nasopharyngeal aspirate samples. All of them presented with fever of unknown origin, irritability and food refusal. [analesdepediatria.org]
Diagnosis is by examination of a urine sample, if necessary obtained by suprapubic bladder aspiration. Treatment should start immediately in the ill child, purely on clinical suspicion. [patient.info]

Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. You can get it by eating undercooked, infected meat, or handling soil or cat feces that contain the parasite. [ibis-birthdefects.org]
The acronym TORCH stands for the causative pathogens of congenital infections: Toxoplasma gondii, others (including Treponema pallidum, Listeria, varicella zoster virus, and parvovirus B19), rubella virus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and herpes simplex virus [amboss.com]
Several vertically transmitted infections are included in the TORCH complex, which stands for: T – Toxoplasmosis / Toxoplasma gondii O – Other infections (see below) R – Rubella C – Cytomegalovirus H – Herpes simplex virus -2 or neonatal herpes simplex [en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment
Make informed clinical choices for each patient, from diagnosis and treatment selection through post-treatment strategies and management of complications, with new evidence-based criteria throughout. [books.google.com]
Management and treatment There is no specific curative treatment for EV maternal or congenital infection. Prognosis Prognosis of mild congenital EV infections is quite good if reanimation procedures are available. [orpha.net]
Treatment of the infant should not be delayed, as early treatment may prevent neurologic sequelae [24]. [intechopen.com]

Diagnosis is by viral culture and treatment is with IV aciclovir. Neonates with HSV infection acquired perinatally have a 65% mortality rate (untreated), reduced to 25% with treatment. [patient.info]
Prognosis
Prognosis Prognosis of mild congenital EV infections is quite good if reanimation procedures are available. Prognosis of severe congenital EV infections is poor and the disease has been reported to be fatal. [orpha.net]
The prognosis is depending on recovery of cardiac function and other organ functions. In extreme cases, ECMO therapy has to be considered. The duration of the cardiac therapy (beta- blockers, diuretics, ACE inhibitors, etc.) is unclear. [adc.bmj.com]

Etiology
Abstract The paper presents the data confirming the hypothesis on the involvement of the congenital enteroviral infection in etiology of chronic nephropathy manifesting in children in the presence of influenza-like and acute respiratory infections diseases [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A suggestion is proposed that the severe course of suppurative-inflammatory conditions and the general character of neonatal bacterial infection are largely determined by the immunodeficient states which are etiologically related to congenital enterovirus [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology Coxsackie A, B, ECHO viruses, and numbered EVs are believed to cross the placenta and cause fetal disease. [orpha.net]
A high index of suspicion for congenital infection and awareness of the prominent features of the most common etiologies will help to facilitate early diagnosis and management. [accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com]
