Abstract |
Infections during gestation, delivery and the postnatal period can jeopardise not only the mother, but also the child. Along with chromosomal abnormalities and immunological diseases, infection in early pregnancy represents the most important reason for abortion. During the second and third trimester, infections are the principal cause for preterm labour, premature membrane rupture, premature delivery and the resultant complications in the newborn child. Many pregnant women are very cautious about taking antibiotics due to primarily potentially detrimental effects on the unborn child. However, there are no contraindications for antibiotic treatment during pregnancy in the event of a serious infectious disease of the mother. |
