Chikungunya infection in pregnancy – reassuring maternal and perinatal outcomes: A retrospective observational study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Apr 14, 2021

Foeller ME, Nosrat C, Krystosik A, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective observational study investigating pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, disease severity, and mother‐to‐child transmission of pregnant women with Chikungunya infection (CHIKV). A total of 731 mother‐infant pairs who gave birth during a CHIKV outbreak were investigated in this descriptive study. Among 416 mother‐infant pairs, 150 (36%) were diagnosed with CHIKV during pregnancy, 135 (33%) had never had CHIKV, and 131 (31%) reported CHIKV outside of pregnancy. Findings suggest CHIKV infection during pregnancy as possibly protective against long‐term joint pain sequelae that are frequently linked with acute CHIKV infection. No correlation of chikungunya infection was noted with raised risk of pregnancy complications or adverse neonatal outcomes, unless infection was just prior to delivery.
