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.
