Antibiotics and infections in pregnancy and lactation

Infectious complications in pregnancy are common and many doctors are concerned about possible fetal harm as part of anti-infective therapy. The increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics brings with it many pitfalls, especially in the choice of the initial antibiotic. At the same time, significant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes occur during pregnancy that must be taken into account when dosing antibiotics.

For example, separate chapters are devoted to immunology, microbiome, urinary issue, respiratory and sexually transmitted infections, sepsis, mastitis or vaccination in pregnancy, including the issue of COVID-19. The book is supplemented by a number of clear tables and diagrams.

The monograph is intended for gynaecologists, obstetricians, internists, microbiologists, urologists and general practitioners.
