Summary
This chapter focuses upon pathogenic organisms that may be responsible for fetal infection during pregnancy and have significant effects on outcome. Many infections have associated serious consequences, including fetal/perinatal mortality and significant morbidity. Each of the pathogenic organisms will be discussed in turn and specific risks and morbidity outlined.
