Neonatal outcomes associated with maternal arbovirus infection (dengue, Zika, and chikungunya) among pregnant women with obstetric complications in Brazil: a cross-sectional study
In this hyperendemic region, a high frequency of newborns were exposed to maternal arbovirus infection during the inter-epidemic period, which was associated with increased premature births and neonatal sepsis. These findings underscore the need for increased clinical vigilance and routine screening in endemic areas, necessitating further longitudinal studies to confirm causality and guide management.
