Abstract
A large number of microorganisms is capable of crossing the placenta and infecting the ferns with diverse results. If a mother acquires a primary infection during pregnancy, the outcome may vary from spontaneous abortion to fetal death, premature birth or congenital disease. In addition, some sexually transmitted pathogens and also normal cervical-vaginal bacteria may infect the fetus by ascension from the lower genital tract or by direct contact during delivery.
