Brief Summary

Symptomatic dengue virus infection in pregnant women could affect the mother, fetus and the newborn at birth. The risks of postpartum hemorrhage, prematurity and low birth weight are increased in dengue fever. Cases of vertical transmission have been described. This study therefore proposes to quantify these risks in a pregnant woman presenting a clinical picture of dengue fever through a prospective, longitudinal and comparative study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Prematurity rate

    The prematurity rate of each group will be assessed according to the WHO definition: a preterm birth is a birth occurring before the 37th week of amenorrhea and after the 22nd week of amenorrhea of a living fetus of at least equal weight at 500 g. This judgment criterion will be measured by the physician or midwife in charge of the patient, and reported on the RIG and the delivery book of the service. The date of delivery will be determined based on the 1st trimester dating ultrasound. The newborn will be examined by the midwife or pediatrician on the ward and weighed within half an hour after birth. A distinction will be made between medically induced premature delivery (reasons given) and spontaneous.

    9 months maximum

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Threatened Premature Delivery (PAD) rate in each group

    9 months maximum

  • Fetal hypotrophy rate

    9 months maximum

  • Low birth weight

    9 months maximum

  • Postpartum hemorrhage rate

    9 months maximum

  • Rate of preeclampsia

    9 months maximum

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Exposed group (GE)

Pregnant women with symptomatic dengue fever, confirmed biologically between the presumed date of conception and the date of delivery.

Other: Biological sampling and collection (serum)Other: Biological sampling and collection (placenta)Other: QuestionnaireOther: Data collection

Unexposed group with fever (GNEF)

Pregnant women presenting a febrile syndrome not due to the dengue virus between the presumed date of conception and the date of delivery, excluding malaria, rubella, toxoplasmosis, chickenpox, listeriosis, CMV infection and primary HIV infection.

Other: Biological sampling and collection (serum)Other: QuestionnaireOther: Data collection

Unexposed group without fever or dengue (GNES)

Pregnant women exhibiting neither febrile syndrome nor asymptomatic dengue fever between the presumed date of conception and the date of delivery.

Interventions

Detection of the dengue virus during the next scheduled biological assessment as part of normal pregnancy monitoring (additional tube of blood) among women from GNES and GNEF groups

Exposed group (GE)Unexposed group with fever (GNEF)Unexposed group without fever or dengue (GNES)

Detection of dengue virus in the placenta of GE patients (additional tube of placenta)

Exposed group (GE)

Questionnaire on the patient's socio-economic conditions (10-minute interview with the Clinical Research Associate, CRA).

Pregnant women

You may qualify if:

  • presenting a symptomatic dengue fever, confirmed biologically between the presumed date of conception (date determined after the first trimester dating ultrasound) and the date of delivery.
  • not presenting biologically confirmed dengue fever;
  • with asymptomatic dengue fever between the presumed date of conception and the date of delivery.
  • Unexposed group with fever (GNEF)
  • presenting an infectious syndrome not due to the dengue virus between the presumed date of conception (date determined after the ultrasound dating of the first trimester) and the date of delivery.
  • presenting with an infectious syndrome in the context of rubella (before 18 weeks), chickenpox, malaria, listeriosis, toxoplasmosis, primary HIV infection and CMV infection.

You may not qualify if:

  • Unexposed group without fever or dengue (GNES)
  • Having neither fever (above 38.5 ° C for more than 48 hours) nor dengue confirmed biologically (symptomatic or not) since the beginning of pregnancy.
  • Having presented a febrile syndrome (fever above 38.5 ° C for more than 48 hours) or dengue fever confirmed biologically (symptomatic or not) since the beginning of pregnancy.
  • People included in the study,
