May warrant enteroviral vigilance in unexplained fetal loss; leaves open causality and generalizability pending larger prospective studies.
Observational (n=78)
Intrauterine ECHO virus infection can cause acute placental infection and hypoxic/hypotensive injury to fetal organs, highlighting the potential gravity of enteroviral disease during pregnancy.
Garcia et al. (1990) conducted an observational in Maternal enterovirus infection (n=78). Maternal enterovirus (ECHO virus) infection was evaluated on Morphological and virological findings in fetal and placental tissue. Intrauterine ECHO virus infection was associated with acute infection of the placenta and hypoxic/hypotensive injury to fetal organs in three post-mortem cases.
