An understanding of the common infections that occur during pregnancy is crucial for prenatal care providers. This article discusses specific screening and diagnostic tests, along with appropriate treatment regimens for common bacterial, viral, protozoal, and fungal infections that occur during pregnancy. Additionally, methods to reduce the likelihood of infection, such as preconception immunization, are reviewed.
