It is a complication of pregnancy which can be associated with eclampsia and its effects upon the basal ganglia .

It mostly occurs in young patients the average age is 22 years. ref name ReferenceA Willson P, Preece AA. Chorea gravidarum.

Pathophysiology Several pathogenetic mechanisms for chorea gravidarum have been offered, but none have been proven. History of either rheumatic fever or chorea is suspected ref name ReferenceA the suggestion is that estrogens and progesterone may sensitize dopamine receptors presumably at a Striatum striatal level and induce chorea in individuals who are vulnerable to this complication by virtue of preexisting pathology in the basal ganglia . The relation to rheumatic fever was strengthened by many studies that showed that women with normal pregnancies before rheumatic fever developed chorea in subsequent pregnancies. ref Black M.

- Screening cultures
Screening culture is a type a medical test that is done to find an infection . Screening cultures are often performed to find infections that do not have signs and symptoms . Types of screening cultures Perinatal Group B Streptococcal Disease comes from an intrauterine infection of the fetus from the spread of Group B Streptococcus from the vagina of a colonized woman who is typically asymptomatic. Medical research Medical studies show that prenatal screening cultures reduce the incidence of Perinatal Group B Streptococcal Disease. Studies of single institutions or health maintenance organization s show institutions with a culture based screening policy have close to 90 of delivering women with documented GBS screening, and close to 90 of GBS positive women received intrapartum antibiotics . ref Hafner Cost effectiveness analyses of the screening and risk based strategies have indicated that although the initial costs associated with specimen collection and processing make the screening strategy more expensive than the risk based approach, the overall cost savings due to disease prevention do not differ importantly between strategies. ref Pediatrics Intensive care units of major hospitals routinely provide nasal, groin or axilla swabs for screening of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA or Multi resistant organisms MRO .
