Abstract
in English, French

Various emerging diseases have been reported in recent years as epidemiologic monitoring improves. These infections can compromise the pregnancy, through adverse maternal outcomes, as well as the outcome for the child following transmission. We report a review of the literature concerning the most quoted emergent virus (H5N1, SARS Coronavirus, Chikungunya, West Nile virus), and relate the perinatal management.

Diverses infections émergentes sont rapportées depuis la mise en place d'une surveillance épidémiologique accrue. Ces infections peuvent compromettre le bon déroulement d'une grossesse, en mettant en jeu le pronostic vital maternel ou le développement de l'enfant lors d'une transmission verticale. À travers une revue récente de la littérature, nous rapportons les conséquences de ces virus émergents les plus cités (H5N1, Coronavirus du SRAS, Chikungunya, virus du Nil occidental) et discutons la prise en charge périnatale.
