Infectious complications during pregnancy are common, and many doctors are concerned about potential harm to the fetus in the context of anti-infective therapy. The increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics brings many pitfalls, especially in the choice of initial antibiotics. At the same time, significant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes occur during pregnancy that must be considered when dosing antibiotics. Separate chapters are dedicated to immunology, the microbiome, issues of urinary, respiratory, and sexually transmitted infections, sepsis, mastitis, and vaccination during pregnancy, including the issue of COVID-19. The book is supplemented with a number of clear tables and diagrams. This monograph is intended for gynecologists, obstetricians, internists, microbiologists, urologists, and general practitioners.
