5 th <strong>European</strong> <strong>Congress</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virology</strong>Thursday 12 th September 2013,15h00 – 17h15WORKSHOP 23: “VIRAL DIAGNOSIS IN CHRONICINFECTION AND DURING PREGNANCY”Chairpersons: Peter COYLE (UNITED KINGDOM)& Hubert NIESTERS (Groningen, THE NETHERLANDS)AmphitheaterKEYNOTE:Diagnosis and prognosis <strong>of</strong> human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infectionin pregnancyMaria GRAZIA REVELLOSC Ostetricia e Ginecologia, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo,Pavia and Fondazione Carlo Denegri, Torino, ITALYHuman cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is still the leading infectious agent causingmental retardation and sensorineural deafness in neonates. In theabsence <strong>of</strong> a vaccine, accurate diagnosis <strong>of</strong> primary infection in the mother,and <strong>of</strong> congenital infection in the fetus remain key points in the management<strong>of</strong> pregnancies complicated by HCMV infection. The combination<strong>of</strong> standard and new serological assays together with virological and clinicalfindings allow diagnosis and dating <strong>of</strong> primary HCMV infection in themother in the majority <strong>of</strong> cases. Maternal correlates <strong>of</strong> vertical transmissionremain elusive. As for diagnosis <strong>of</strong> HCMV infection in the fetus, thetechnique employed for HCMV detection, time interval between maternalinfection and the procedure as well as delayed transmission in utero aremajor variables affecting sensitivity <strong>of</strong> prenatal diagnosis. A high viral loadin amniotic fluid is a poor predictor <strong>of</strong> clinical outcome. Some promisingprognostic markers <strong>of</strong> congenital disease are currently being investigatedin fetal blood. In conclusion, reliable diagnosis <strong>of</strong> primary maternalinfection is the first issue to be addressed. Then, prenatal diagnosis can be<strong>of</strong>fered, and the woman, properly counselled, can decide how to proceedwith her pregnancy.ORAL COMMUNICATIONSREF O70Human Cytomegalovirus specific hyperimmune globulin for prevention<strong>of</strong> congenital infection following primary infection in pregnancyMilena FURIONEFondazione Carlo Denegri, Torino, ITALYBackground: Primary HCMV infection in pregnancy carries the highestrisk <strong>of</strong> vertical transmission and congenital disease. A non randomizedstudy (Nigro et al, NEJM 2005) reported that HCMV specific hyperimmuneglobulin (HIG) significantly reduced the risk <strong>of</strong> congenital infectionfrom 40% to 16% in pregnant women with primary infection.Objective: To verify HIG efficacy under controlled conditions.Patients and Methods: An independent, phase IIB, double blind, drug vsplacebo multicenter trial was conducted. Primary objective was to assessdrug efficacy by comparing the number <strong>of</strong> infected fetuses/newborns in thetwo arms <strong>of</strong> treatment. Pregnant women with primary HCMV infection at5 26 weeks’ gestation were randomized to receive, within 6 weeks after thepresumed onset <strong>of</strong> infection, HIg or placebo every 4 weeks until 36 weeks’gestation or HCMV positive amniocentesis. Sixty women/arm were neededin order to show a reduction from 40% to 16% vertical transmission(80% power, 5% type I error, 10% attrition).Results: Transmission rate was 44% (27/62) in the placebo arm and 30%(18/61) in the drug arm (95% CI 31.7 – 2.2; p=0.13). No significant differencewas noted between the two study groups for virus specific antibodyand T cell response. Similarly, no significant difference was noted betweentransmitter and nontransmitter mothers in each arm for the same parameters.An higher number <strong>of</strong> serious adverse events was reported in the HIGarm compared to the placebo arm.Conclusions: Safety and efficacy <strong>of</strong> HIG need to be assessed in largerphase III studies.REF O71Phylogenetic analysis <strong>of</strong> human parvovirus B19 in pregnant womenin Lyon (FRANCE)Yahia MEKKI 1 , Clément LABOIS 1 , Jean Sébastien CASALEGNO 1 ,Daniel EIBACH 1 , Genevieve BILLAUD 1 , Annabelle SERVANTDELMAS 2 , Jerome MASSARDIER 2 , Mona MASSOUD 2 , CyrilHUISSOUD 2 , Axel FICHEZ 2 , Pascal GAUCHERAND 3 , Rene CharlesRUDIGUOZ 4 , Frederique LEBRETON 5 , Veronique TARDY 6 , BrunoLINA 71 Centre hospitalo universsitaire Lyon/Vi<strong>rologie</strong>/HFME, Lyon, FRANCE;2 Laboratoire de vi<strong>rologie</strong>/INTS/Hôpital Armand Trousseau, PARIS,France; 3 Centre hospitalo universsitaire Lyon/Gynecologie obstétrique/HFME, Lyon, FRANCE; 4 Centre hospitalo universsitaire Lyon/Gynecologie obstétrique/Croix Rousse, Lyon, FRANCE; 5 Centre hospitalouniverssitaire Lyon/Anatomie pathologie/HFME, Lyon, FRANCE;6 Centre hospitalo universsitaire Lyon/Biochimie, Lyon, FRANCE; 7 Centrehospitalo universsitaire Lyon/Vi<strong>rologie</strong>, Lyon, FRANCEParvovirus infection during pregnancy is an important cause <strong>of</strong> hydropsfetalis. It is attributed to anemia caused by viral induced destruction <strong>of</strong>red blood cells. Other organs have been reported to be affected includingthe heart, liver and lungs. Parvovirus B19 is a human virus consisting <strong>of</strong>three distinct genotypes (1, 2 and 3). In our hospital laboratory we detectedseveral epidemics <strong>of</strong> Parvovirus touching pregnant women. Most <strong>of</strong> themare deadly for the embryos.We retrospectively performed sequencing and phylogenic classification<strong>of</strong> ninety six laboratory samples currently detected by the diagnosticvirology laboratory (RT PCR Abbott ® ) were analyzed. The ninety sixsamples were composed <strong>of</strong> 4 placenta, 12 necropsies, 15 amniotic fluidand 65 blood samples. Sixty four samples were identified as genotype 1by genotype specific PCR (analysis NS1 VP1U region), and thirty onesamples were negative. Seventy laboratory samples undetected by RTPCR Abbott ® resulted in 4 samples identified as genotype 1 and 66 asnegative.In conclusion during a 6 years period (2005 to 2011), only Parvovirus B19genotype 1 has been detected in pregnant women and fetal infections inour hospital.REF O72Determination <strong>of</strong> Rubella Virus Specific Humoral and Cell MediatedImmunity in pregnant women with negative <strong>of</strong> equivocal rubellaspecific IgGChristelle VAULOUP FELLOUS 2 , Olivier PICONE 1 , Yousra BEJAOUIOLHMANN 2 , Anne Gaël CORDIER 3 , Sophie NEDELLEC 3 ,PDEVILLIER 4 , Nicolas GAIDOT 2 , Liliane GRANGEOT KEROS 21 Department <strong>of</strong> Gynecology and Obstetrics, Foch Hospital, Suresnes,FRANCE; 2 AP HP, Laboratory <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virology</strong>, Rubella Materno foetalinfection National Reference Center, Paul Brousse Hospital, Villejuif,FRANCE; 3 AP HP, Department <strong>of</strong> Gynecology and Obstetrics, AntoineBéclère Hospital, Clamart, FRANCE; 4 Department <strong>of</strong> Clinical Research,Foch Hospital, Suresnes, FRANCEVi<strong>rologie</strong>, Vol 17, supplément 2, septembre 2013S67
