Resum
INTRODUCTION: Congenital and perinatal infections are a leading
cause of neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality. Maternal
screening, vaccines or treatment where available, constitute
effective prevention strategies to reduce the burden of these
diseases. Data on the burden of congenital and perinatal
infections are very limited for low and middle-income regions.
AREAS COVERED: This review aims to summarize the burden of
congenital and perinatal infections and the main challenges for
their control in resource-limited settings. Articles were
identified through the main electronic databases and cover the
period 1971- 2016. Expert commentary: Estimates from low and
middle-income countries indicate that the burden of congenital
infections may be higher in these regions than in industrialized
countries. As preventive and curative strategies are available
to tackle some of these infections, efforts at the international
and national levels must be made to implement those and thus
reduce their burden in resource-limited countries.
