AB  - The  fetus  and  newborn  are  uniquely  vulnerable  to  serious  infection.  While  the  amniotic  cavity  affords  substantial  protection  against  pathogens,  fetal  infection  by  viruses,  bacteria,  or  parasites  can  occur  throughout  pregnancy.  Infection  can  also  begin  during  parturition,  which  entails  sudden  and  simultaneous  contact  with  a  variety  of  potential  pathogens,  or  from  postnatal  exposure  to  colonized  skin,  breast  milk,  or  contaminated  environmental  surfaces.
