[Infection screening in pregnancy].
The aim of screening for infectious diseases in pregnancy is to identify subjects who are at risk of a specific infection, which lends itself to effective intervention. The value of routine screening is determined by the validity of the test and the prevalence of the disorder in the population. During pregnancy, serological screening for rubella, syphilis, toxoplasmosis, HIV, hepatitis B and bacteriological screening for asymptomatic bacteriuria and gonorrhea is recommended. The search for additional infections is reserved for patients presenting special risk factors or clinical symptoms.
