Some antibiotics prescribed during pregnancy linked to health disorders

Mothers who were prescribed macrolide antibiotics, including erythromycin and azithromycin, early in pregnancy had an increased risk of their child being born with malformations, specifically cardiovascular malformations. However, researchers found no link between exposure to these antibiotics and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Cerebral Palsy Also Has Genetic Underpinnings

Researchers have identified mutations in single genes that appear to be responsible for some cases of cerebral palsy which were not caused as a result of birth injury.
