A systematic review of disseminated HSV in pregnancy (including with HLH) - out now. Highlights non-specific symptoms of the disease in pregnancy & how an absence of lesions does not exclude HSV in the unwell, febrile pregnant patient.

Great not only to have the work we're doing on HLH included in today's conference for the release of the #MBRRACEUK report on UK maternal mortality, but to also see another presentation on this topic. Is HLH as rare as we think, or simply rarely diagnosed?

Great time at #BSR25 - the pregnancy session was fantastic (please watch on catch up if you missed on the day) & I so enjoyed speaking at the Hyperinflammation SIG on pregnancy and HLH.

Thank you to @vikilovesfacs.bsky.social for her talk, an absolute highlight of the conference for me!

Just round the corner from the #BSR25 convention centre is also this - in the free trade hall, now a hotel, but a plaque commemorating a key point in the campaign for women's suffrage ✊

Detour en route to the hotel for #BSR25 to see "Rise up, women" in St Peters Square. 🙌

Reading @vikilovesfacs.bsky.social as I make my way to #BSR25. So looking forward to hearing her speak at the conference in the pregnancy session. Love this fact from her recent review - that IgA secreting cells in the breast originate from maternal gut. Wow!

- these are recognised sex specific risk modifiers in the general pop., now incorporated into the ESC hypertension guidelines (see pic) & it would be great to confirm if its also the case in RA. This is a female predominant disease, and existing CVD risk scores underperform in females & in RA.

Such a pleasure to work with this wonderful team during our time at #EV2025🇩🇰, including @maryg147.bsky.social, on resources for unplanned pregnancy in inflammatory rheumatic disease.

This morning we've heard @bhwords.bsky.social on thrombosis, APS & pregnancy. Fascinating talk - a whistlestop tour of all things APS, in and out of pregnancy.

Great to see the new RCOG sepsis green top guideline is out - covering pregnancy & postpartum with an excellent exploration of bacterial sepsis through to disseminated HSV & touching on non-infectious causes such as HLH 👏

Great to share learning from a case series of HLH in pregnancy & the postpartum from the national HLH MDT.

Please consider HLH in your critically unwell febrile women, use the 3Fs to screen (fever, falling counts, raised ferritin) and investigate further!
