Aspects in the neurological localization of intrapartum infections

Abstract

There are many infectious diseases that the newborn can acquire during the passage through the birth canal. Since the evolution of the medical world, the transmission risk during childbirth has declined severely but it’s not non-existent. We included several studies discussing the most important infections that can be transmitted intrapartum and that can have neurological outcomes. These studies have proven a correlation between newborn intrapartum infections and neurological disorders, as well as long-term neurological sequelae in some cases.
