The most common infections in pregnancy and their linked to miscarriage

Abstract

Miscarriage is a common occurrence in the life cycle of the woman. Exactly how common this experience is not known exactly. Pregnancy is a complicated physiological process that might lead to negative outcomes and could threaten the women`s life or the fetus. Current literature suggests that the cause of RM is only identifiable in up to 40%-50% of cases. Women with Factor V Leiden, prothrombin and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase mutation have been linking to an increased risk of early, late, and recurrent pregnancy loss. The aim of this review is to highlight the most common infections in Pregnancy and their Linked to Miscarriage.

This makes the fetus especially susceptible to infection during the first trimester [6].…”
