Abstract
Infections with certain pathogens can lead to perinatal complications. Several infections have also been associated with an increased likelihood of a miscarriage. This manuscript discusses these infections, their modes of transmission, the evidence linking them to an increased risk of miscarriage, and whether prevention or treatment strategies are available.
