A brief description of the pathogenesis and immediate and long-range outcome following certain maternal viral infections in pregnancy has been presented. As evidence has accumulated from the follow-up of infants with specific congenital infections, it is clear that the consequences can be disastrous but not just for the obviously affected neonate - the normal-appearing infant at birth may have problems which appear much later. So-called "silent" congenital infections of the central nervous system may be a more frequent cause of mental retardation and specific learning disorders than we realize.
本文简要介绍了孕期某些母体病毒感染后的发病机制以及近期和远期后果。随着对患有特定先天性感染婴儿随访证据的积累，很明显后果可能是灾难性的，而且不仅针对明显受影响的新生儿——出生时外观正常的婴儿可能会出现很久之后才显现的问题。所谓中枢神经系统的“隐性”先天性感染可能是导致智力迟钝和特定学习障碍的一个比我们所意识到的更为常见的原因。
