Two of the six fetal treatment failures produced preterm stillborns. Only one maternal treatment failure occurred, in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected woman. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, we must also consider congenital syphilis as a risk factor for the concomitant occurrence of infections with distinct etiology in these newborns. [omicsonline.org]

Infection is thought to be a major etiologic factor in some preterm labors. When cervical, vaginal, or urinary tract infections are present, the risk of preterm birth is increased (Box 3). [intranet.tdmu.edu.ua]
