Halo pak, kebetulan ada artikel yang membahas itu di babycenter, mudah-mudahan berguna. Sebenarnya kalau virus nggak perlu diobati, tetapi dokter sering mengambil langkah antisipasi, karena dari cacar air yang ringan bisa jadi radang otak dan pneumonia berat, jadi dikasi antibiotik, tanyakan keamanan jenis obat tersebut ke dokter kandungan.
Mamanya Dafi I'm pregnant and was recently around a child who has chicken pox. Should I worry? If you had chicken pox as a child, you probably have no reason to worry. Your body has developed antibodies to the virus, making you immune to further infection. But if you've never been exposed to the virus, consult with your doctor or midwife as soon as possible. One to 2 percent of babies whose mothers contract chicken pox while pregnant — especially between weeks eight and 20 of pregnancy — are born with one or more birth defects such as scars, eye problems, poor growth, and delayed development. Catching the chicken pox virus five days or less before giving birth, or one to two days after delivery, is even more worrisome because it can be fatal to the baby. If this condition, called congenital varicella, is left untreated, the baby has a 30 percent chance of dying. Giving the newborn baby an injection known as VZIG (varicella zoster immune globulin) reduces the risk. Infection six to 21 days before birth means a baby usually gets a mild case of the illness. If I get chicken pox during pregnancy, can I take a test that will tell me whether my baby has developed any birth defects? A detailed ultrasound done between weeks 18 and 20 of pregnancy that checks your baby's vital organs may be your best bet. The doctor or radiologist may be able to see whether the limbs and the brain are developing as they should. But ultrasounds can't detect all types of birth defects. For more information, talk to your doctor or midwife. If I haven't had chicken pox, should I get the vaccine? Not if you're already pregnant. But if you're not pregnant, it may be a good idea, though according to the manufacturer of the chicken pox vaccine, you should wait until three months after being immunized before trying to conceive. The American Academy of Pediatrics advocates waiting only a month. I'm pregnant and was exposed to someone with chicken pox yesterday, but I don't know whether I'm immune to it. What should I do? Your healthcare provider can do a blood test to check for the presence of chicken pox antibodies in your system. If you don't have any, you're not immune to the disease and stand a big chance of being infected because of your recent exposure to chicken pox. For your and your baby's protection, ask your doctor or midwife about getting a dose of zoster immune globulin (ZIG), a blood product that contains chicken pox antibodies. ZIG will lessen the severity of any possible infection. But you must get ZIG within four days of exposure for it to be effective. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Mohon bantuan rekan rekan > BAgaimana mengobati cacar air pada saat istri saya > lagi hamil 2 bulan > Apapula bahayanya terhadap janin > Terima kasih __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
