AB GOAL: Analysis of risk factors that could be influential in HIV
perinatal transmission. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We have studied 172 HIV
positive pregnant women between 1985 and 1993. Perinatal Transmission
and factors that could be influential, such as disease stage, maternal
risk factors for HIV infection, accompanying obstetrics pathology,
mechanism and type of delivery, were studied. RESULTS: HIV perinatal
transmission rate after 18 months follow up was 14%: We have not found
statistical significant difference among different mechanisms of
maternal infection. In mothers with positive HIV antigens during
pregnancy a transmission rate of 68% was observed, which is
statistically significantly different to the HIV antigen negative
mothers transmission rate. (text not legible). CONCLUSION: Perinatal
Transmission rate in our population was 14%. Mother's risk factors for
HIV transmission, as well as disease stage and CD4 count do not have a
statistical significant influence in perinatal transmission rate.
Neither there are differences as to obstetric pathology, mechanism and
type of delivery. Mothers with HIV antigens during pregnancy show a
higher of vertical transmission.
