Research Notes on STDs and Pregnancy
STDs can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to the fetus or infant before, during, or after birth. Some STDs (like syphilis) cross the placenta and infect the fetus during its development. Harmful effects on the baby may include stillbirth, low birth weight, conjunctivitis (eye infection), pneumonia, neonatal sepsis (infection in the blood stream), neurologic damage (such as brain damage or motor disorder), congenital abnormalities (including blindness, deafness, or other organ damage), acute hepatitis, meningitis, chronic liver disease, and cirrhosis. Some of these consequences may be apparent at birth; others may not show up until months or years later.
