During pregnancy, certain parts of your immune system are enhanced while other parts are dampened to allow you to grow and protect a fetus inside you. Many immunological and physiological changes occur throughout pregnancy. These immune changes are perfectly timed to help protect both you and your fetus. The immune system just works differently during pregnancy. In the beginning, there’s a pro-inflammatory state, which is helpful for implantation. This turns into an anti-inflammatory state, which is helpful for the growth of the fetus. In the third trimester, another pro-inflammatory state to prepare for childbirth. People can be immunocompromised either due to a medical condition or from receipt of immunosuppressive medications or treatments. Examples of medical conditions or treatments that may result in moderate to severe immunocompromise include but are not limited to: •Active treatment for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies •Receipt of solid-organ transplant or an islet transplant and taking immunosuppressive therapy •Receipt of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplant •Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency •Advanced or untreated HIV infection •Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids #HIV #malaria#hiv#listeria#listeriosis#pregnant#pregnancy#immunocompromised#obgyn#mfmoriginal sound
