Seasonal Influenza A (H1N1) Infection in Early Pregnancy and Second Trimester Fetal Demise

Abstract excerpt

A second trimester fetal demise followed influenza-like illness in early pregnancy. Influenza A virus (H1N1) was identified in maternal and fetal tissue, confirming transplacental passage. These findings suggested a causal relationship between early exposure and fetal demise. Management of future influenza outbreaks should include evaluation of products of conception associated with fetal loss.
