What are the Treatment Options for Infectious Diseases in Pregnancy?
Treatment varies depending on the type of infection. Antibiotics are commonly used for bacterial infections, but their use must be carefully considered to avoid any potential harm to the fetus. Antiviral medications may be prescribed for viral infections, while antifungal agents are used for fungal infections. Pregnant women with HIV may receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) to reduce the risk of transmission to the baby.
