how does early rupture of membranes in obstetrics increase risk of transmiting HIV to the fetus?
Question:
Answers:
The amniotic sac protects the fetus from any outside bacteria. Once the sac ruptures, that protection has been compromised. The fetus is subjected to any virus and/or bacteria the mother has.
Other Answers:
Yep, that answer is correct. The longer it's left without induction the virus has an ideal place to grow and multiply (sounds like war of the worlds!). The baby needs drugs i/v as soon as it is born, so does the mother in labour too. The pair of them are compromised as the virus can enter via so many routes once the membranes have ruptured. Plus the leaked fluid will transport the virus quite nicely too.. There's a thought. All those sanitary wear with live virus, clothes, washing machines, other people's clothes - it just goes on...
