Viruses constitute the major cause of infection in pregnancy and are strongly
associated with significant mortality, morbidity and long term sequelae for the
neonate. Thus, the investigation of the viral infections, focusing on the
mechanisms of the exposure and transmission, the description of clinical
manifestations and the ways of prevention is essential in order to develop the
appropriate strategic for avoiding, where possible, the adverse effects for
maternal and neonatal health status.
Aim of the Study: Current literature review aims to investigate the mechanisms
viral infections affect pregnancy and their potential association with negative
perinatal outcomes.
Conclusions: Most viral infections during pregnancy are associated with adverse
maternal, fetal and infant perinatal outcomes. The infections are transmitted
to the neonate transplacentally, perinatally (from vaginal secretions or
blood), or postnatally (from breast milk or other sources) and their clinical
manifestations vary depending on the viral agent and gestational age at
exposure. A point of interest is that sometimes the literature review revealed
conflicts and ambiguous conclusions as data was limited, algorithms were
evidence based and recommendations under consensus. In this context conclusions
could not be characterized as safe and documented and should be considered with
caution and skepticism.
