Learn About Fetal Enterovirus Syndrome

What is the definition of Fetal Enterovirus Syndrome?

Fetal enterovirus syndrome occurs when a pregnant mother who is infected with an enterovirus passes the virus to her baby while it is the womb or during delivery. Enteroviruses are common viruses that most adults are immune to, but a pregnant woman who is not immune can pass the virus to her baby. A baby infected with an enterovirus may develop a mild or severe illness.

What are the symptoms of Fetal Enterovirus Syndrome?

Symptoms of a mild enterovirus infection in infants may include fever, runny nose, sneezing, cough, mouth blisters, skin rash, and body and muscle aches. Symptoms of a severe enterovirus infection in infants may include viral conjunctivitis, hand, foot, and mouth disease, viral meningitis, viral encephalitis (brain infection), infection of the heart (myocarditis), infection of the sac covering the heart (pericarditis), hepatitis, sudden paralysis, inflammatory muscle disease, lung infection, coagulation abnormalities, sepsis, and rarely, organ failure and death. Congenital enterovirus infection in a fetus can lead to miscarriage, hydrops fetalis (abnormal build-up of fluid in tissues), fetal abnormalities of the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary system, developmental delays, fluid in the lungs and/or abdomen, and severe respiratory failure.
