Viruses, bacteria, and protozoans in pregnancy: a sample of each.
This article only touches the surface of a very broad subject. As mentioned before, the microorganisms covered were chosen with the practitioner in mind. The reader will note that many of the syndromes discussed have subtle presentations with overlapping symptomatology or essentially no symptoms at all. Clinicians therefore must maintain a high degree of suspicion when faced with such infectious complications of pregnancy.
