What Are the Diagnostic Methods for Transplacentally Acquired Conditions?
Diagnosis of transplacentally acquired conditions can be challenging. It often involves a combination of maternal and fetal tests. Maternal screenings might include serological tests for specific infections. Fetal assessments can involve ultrasonography, amniocentesis, and cordocentesis to identify any anomalies or infections. Postnatal diagnosis may include physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies.
