Abstract

Infections in pregnancy are common, and although often not harmful to the woman or her unborn child, some infections may be associated with severe adverse outcomes. Pregnancy causes physiological and immunological adaptations which may make pregnant women more susceptible to infections and at increased risk of more severe illness. Infections in pregnancy represent a challenging area of concern for many specialists and general practitioners. Center for Pregnancy and Infection was developed to enhance knowledge, diagnosis, treatment, and care for pregnant women with infection in Denmark, as pointed out in this review.
