The purpose is to study the prophylactic and therapeutic effect of the traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-Jinyebaidu (JYBD) to guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) intrauterine infection. The virus-free female and male guinea pigs were screened with nest-polymerase chain reaction (N-PCR). After inbred, pregnant guinea pigs were selected and divided into 3 groups randomly: 5 guniea pigs of the blank control group were not given either GPCMV or JYBD. 31 guniea pigs of the positive control group were inoculated 1 mL (10(7) TCID50) suspension of GPCMV intraperitoneal. 10 guniea pigs of the experimental group were inoculated GPCMV firstly and then perfused stomach with JYBD for 14 days (Dosage in accordance with the modulus of the weight ratio of human to guniea pig). The effects of JYBD on the intrauterine infection of GPCMV were observed. The results showed that JYBD could decrease the maternal infection rate from 100% (31/31) to 50% (5/10) (P < 0.001), the intrauterine infection rate from 100% (72/72) to 75% (21/28) (P < 0.001), and the rate of abnormal outcome of pregnancy from 64.4% (29/45) to 25.0% (7/28) (P < 0.001), the infective symptoms being relieved. It can be concluded that traditional Chinese medicine- JYBD can prevent and treat (GPCMV intrauterine infection, and can be expected a prophylactic drug for HCMV intrauterine infection.

OBJECTIVETo find out the status of intrauterine infection with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome virus (HFRSV).
METHODSThe blood of mothers and the umbilical cords were examined by using anti-HFRSV-IgG at labor of mothers infected with HFRSV. The venous blood of naturally delivered babies were examined for anti-HFRSV-Ig M, HI test was used to type the HFRSV.
RESULTSMothers blood showed positive reaction for anti-HFRSV-IgG. Twenty-three of 27 cases of the fetal death were umbilical cords blood positive two out of twelve of umbilical cord blood that the babies were born naturally after their mothers recovered showed positive for anti-HFRSV -IgG but negative for anti-HFRSV-IgM, 14 babies born naturally normally.
CONCLUSIONSHFRSV can cause intrauterine infection, and lead to fetal death, but no post natal deformity was observed in the babies born naturally.

We report three autopsy cases of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in fetuses with a review of literature. The clinical manifestations in these cases of congenital CMV infection include intrauterine fetal death, hydrops fetalis, and CMV pneumonia associated with cardiovascular defect. The pathological characteristics were as follows: 1) the kidney was the most frequently involved organ, followed by lung and liver, 2) CMV inclusions were found predominantly in epithelial cells and to a lesser degree in endothelial cells, 3) intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells were frequently involved, and 4) inflammatory reaction around CMV inclusions was not prominent in the early stage of pregnancy. Diagnostic confirmation was obtained by in situ hybridization (ISH) using a biotinylated CMV-DNA probe, which demonstrated intranuclear inclusions and sometimes recognized cells that did not show intranuclear inclusion.
