Not always a safe place: Intrauterine Infections
Intrauterine infections can have a devastating effect of the fetus, neonate and the family of the infected infant. The impact of these infections depends on the gestation at which the infection occurs, the virulence of the organism and whether or not this is a primary or recurrent infection. This presentation will explore the organisms that have been implicated in fetal infections and will discuss the presentation and management of common intrauterine infections.

Late Preterm Infants: Not as Grown up as they look!
Late preterm infants (LPI) are sometimes called the great pretenders. They look mature, sometimes evening weighing as much as their term counterparts. Despite that, LPI infants are at increased risk of both short- and long-term complications. This presentation will review the incidence and etiology of late preterm deliveries and will discuss the short and long-term morbidities experienced by this group of infants. Strategies to mitigate these issues will also presented.

Congenital Infections: What’s Old Is Back Again
We think of the fetus as living in an impenetrable environment, protected from the outside elements. While most bacteria are too large to cross the placental barrier or infiltrate the amniotic membranes, some bacteria, viruses and parasites are capable of reaching the fetus and causing intrauterine infections. Over the years, the list of organisms responsible for these infections has grown with the addition of pathogens such HIV and West Nile Virus. Most recently, a resurgence of congenital syphilis has been identified in newborns born to women with an active infection in pregnancy. This session will review pathogens responsible for intrauterine infection with particular attention to congenital syphilis. A review of the effects of these infections will be accompanied by a discussion of the diagnosis, management and prognosis of intrauterine infections.
