Management of Infection for the Obstetrician/Gynecologist

Catherine Eppes. Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am. 2016 Dec.

Abstract

Pregnant women have an increased morbidity and mortality for certain illnesses owing to the physiologic and immunologic changes in pregnancy. Certain infections are common during pregnancy, including urinary tract infections and pneumonia. Others are uncommon, but yield increased severity, including influenza. Human immunodeficiency virus, although it does not increase in pathogenesis during pregnancy, requires specific attention and management in the context of pregnancy.

Keywords: Congenital infection; HIV; Infection; Influenza; Pregnancy.
