Employment prohibition with Pfeifferschem glandular fever in the pregnancy
An individual employment ban can be issued by any physician in private practice if he or she finds that the pregnant woman cannot carry out her work due to pregnancy-related complaints. This can be, for example, the risk of premature birth or cervical insufficiency. Pfeiffer’s glandular fever initially represents an independent illness and could therefore only be covered by a sick note.
It is not necessarily a reason for an individual employment ban. In individual cases, however, an individual employment ban may be issued if, for example, there is an immediate danger to the child or the mother in the course of work or if the illness brings complications. The physician in private practice must formulate his reasons in a generally understandable and comprehensible manner so that a prohibition of employment is recognized. In principle, it is also possible to obtain an employment ban in the case of a Pfeiffer’s glandular fever
