Description:Presented on Tuesday, September 18, 2018.
Emerging health threats are a concern for everyone, yet pregnant women and infants are particularly vulnerable. For example, infection with the Zika virus or having untreated syphilis during pregnancy can cause a miscarriage or devastating birth defects. These birth defects may include brain abnormalities, misshaped bones and hearing loss. The timely identification and understanding of these emerging health threats and others, such as the opioid epidemic, allow communities to act early to protect mothers and babies.
This session of Grand Rounds will discuss how tracking birth defects and monitoring health outcomes of pregnant women and infants can help in prevention and treatment efforts by providing real-time information through surveillance.
