Neonatal and congenital infections

Neonatal infections are infections of the neonate acquired during prenatal growth or in the first four weeks of life. Neonatal infections may be contracted by mother to child transmission, in the birth canal during childbirth, or contracted after birth

Congenital infections damage a foetus in the womb or a newborn baby. They are usually caused by viruses that can be picked up by the baby at any point during the pregnancy and up until delivery. The viruses infect the mother, who can then pass them on to the infant either directly through the placenta or as the baby travels through the birth canal during delivery.
