- Title
Sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.
- Authors
Dimian, C.O.; Bingham, J. S.
- Abstract
The spectrum of the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) has expanded over the years. As they occur in the sexually active during reproductive years, they can affect pregnancy and its outcome, maternal health and the neonate. While morbidity affects both mother and child, maternal mortality is rare, but death can result in the baby. Those providing care to pregnant women should be aware of the presence and risks of these infections in pregnancy and consider screening those perceived as being at high risk.
