Maternal and Perinatal outcome in Mumps complicating pregnancy

Abstract

Background: Mumps during pregnancy is associated with high morbidity and mortality especially during the perinatal period. Case: A 30 year old primigravida at term with premature rupture of membranes was referred to us as a case of acute renal failure with sepsis and PROM. On detailed history and examination, she was clinically diagnosed as mumps. Obstetric examination revealed a term live fetus in cephalic presentation with oligohydramnios with thick meconium stained liquor. She was delivered by emergency LSCS because of fetal distress and the neonate expired in the neonatal period. Her blood urea was 120 mg% and serum creatinine was 4.2 mg% prior to LSCS. She was treated with diuretics and corticosteroids in the perioperative and immediate postoperative period with which she recovered. Conclusion : Mumps during the perinatal period results in adverse fetal and maternal outcome and vigilant management is necessary to save both lives.
