Abstract

Recent data suggest a possible association of infection and cerebral palsy. The objective of this article is to examine the relationship between intrauterine infection, fetal infection, and long-term neurological dysfunction. In some children maternal infection is associated with brain white matter damage, periventricular leukomalacia, and cerebral palsy.
