title: [Factors harmful during the course of pregnancy].
abstract: The important repercussions which teratological factors have in perinatal cases have made it necessary to create methods which detect congenital defects before birth. By reading this article, nursing professionals should acquire sufficient basic knowledge about teratogenesis and teratological factors so that they may then provide women with a correct health education about these topics during their peri and postconception periods.
