Which screening test is not done in pregnant women?
Ans: b (Hep A) Ref: Dutta, 6th ed, p. 99Routine investigations done during antenatal checkup1. Blood grouping. VDRL, RBS( only in selected cases)2. Urine routine-- protein, sugar and pus cells.3. Cervical cytology in selected cases.Special investigations in pregnancy1. Serological tests for rubella. Hep B and HIV (with consent).2. MSAFP or triple test for mothers at risk.3. USG - first trimester scan and anomaly scan at 20 wks.Though Hep D is also not mentioned, it can be taken as a part of Hep B virus because Hep D does not occur alone. It is always associated with Hep B. So the best answer here is Hep A- which is not transmitted by blood.

Hep A
