Mpox during pregnancy

Source-Yahoo, NEJM !0/10/2024

 

Mpox can be passed to the fetus during pregnancy or to the newborn baby by contact with the mpox rash or sores during and after birth. Mpox in pregnancy can also lead to miscarriage, a baby being born too early (premature labor), or even a fetal death before delivery.
