Samples will be collected during clinically-indicated amniocentesis performed for the purposes of diagnosing the presence or absence of congenital infection. This is usually performed at 20-21 weeks gestation for women with seroconversion in early pregnancy, or at the time of fetal assessment in cases of referrals with structural abnormalities. An amniotic fluid (AF) volume of 5-10ml would be required for the research study. This sample volume does not pose a significant burden on the clinician performing the procedure (only 10-20 seconds additional collection time) and does not increase the risk of the procedure for the pregnancy or woman as there is NO additional needle insertion (no increase in miscarriage or impact on fetal or maternal well-being).
