Risk of invasive pneumococcal disease during pregnancy and postpartum and association with adverse maternal and foetal outcomes: A prospective cohort study, England, 2014-19
While pregnant women overall did not appear to have an increased risk of IPD compared to non-pregnant women, those infected in third trimester or postpartum appeared to have more than twice the incidence. Most pregnant and postpartum women had a live birth, and subsequent neonatal infection was rare, occurring in 2% of live births.
