Antimicrobial stewardship and targeted therapies in the changing landscape of maternal sepsis

扫码查看
Pregnant and postnatal women are a high-risk population particularly prone to rapid progression to sepsis with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide.Moreover,severe maternal infections can have a serious detrimen-tal impact on neonates with almost 1 million neonatal deaths annually attributed to maternal infection or sepsis.In this review we discuss the susceptibility of pregnant women and their specific physiological and immunolog-ical adaptations that contribute to their vulnerability to sepsis,the implications for the neonate,as well as the issues with antimicrobial stewardship and the challenges this poses when attempting to reach a balance between clinical care and urgent treatment.Finally,we review advancements in the development of pregnancy-specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and how these can be used to optimize the care of pregnant women and neonates.
