Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Chlamydia trachomatis infection seems to have little impact on the outcome of pregnancy. If transmitted to the newborn during delivery, this pathogen can cause conjunctivitis or, occasionally, neonatal pneumonia. Amoxicillin (a 7-day course) is the antibiotic of choice for pregnant women with C. trachomatis cervicitis or urethritis. There is no evidence that other antibiotics are safer or more effective. Doxycycline and fluoroquinolones are contraindicated during pregnancy. The possible benefits of treating asymptomatic C. trachomatis infection in pregnant women are uncertain. |
