The management of respiratory infections during pregnancy

Vanessa Laibl et al. Immunol Allergy Clin North Am. 2006 Feb.

Abstract

Respiratory infections that complicate pregnancy are encountered frequently, and they encompass a broad range of disorders. Although respiratory infections usually are not seen more commonly in pregnancy, they often result in greater morbidity and mortality secondary to the physiologic adaptations that occur during pregnancy. Pregnant patients who have one of these disorders require higher level of surveillance and intervention.
