Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have reached epidemic proportions in the United States and have captured the attention of both laypersons and health professionals. Of special concern is that most STDs can be transmitted vertically to the offspring of infected mothers. Since the advent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, other STDs have been at risk of being relatively disregarded. This paper, the first of two parts, reviews issues of prevalence, morbidity, mortality, prevention and treatment of syphilis and gonorrhea as they affect the maternal-fetal dyad.
性传播疾病（STDs）在美国已达到流行程度，并引起了普通民众和卫生专业人员的关注。特别令人担忧的是，大多数性传播疾病可通过母婴垂直传播给受感染母亲的后代。自获得性免疫缺陷综合征出现以来，其他性传播疾病有被相对忽视的风险。本文是两部分中的第一部分，回顾了梅毒和淋病在影响母婴这一关系时的患病率、发病率、死亡率、预防和治疗等问题。
