Abstract:
Congenial infection is one of the greatest diagnostic challenges facing clinicians. The list pathogens related to intrauterine infections continues to grow with the identification of new etiologies and resurgence of others. Identification of a congenital infection as early as possible has both diagnostic and therapeutic advantages. This article will give an overview on common clinical findings in infants with congenital infection and a recommended clinical investigational approach for suspected congenital infection
