title: Viral infections in pregnancy.
abstract: Certain viral infections in pregnancy may present a hazard to the fetus or the newborn, but only rarely to the woman herself. A number of such viral infections have only been recognized in recent years and are presenting new difficulties in diagnosis, management and testing policies. Even those which are long-established causes of fetal infection still have unresolved problems.
