Effects of antenatal azithromycin for Ureaplasma spp. on neonatal outcomes

ConclusionsMaternal Ureaplasma colonization was associated with moderate ‐to‐severe BPD even though AZ treatment was performed. In addition, if the neonatal respiratory tract was colonized, then moderate‐to‐severe BPD developed even with maternal AZ treatment. Hence, selective antenatal and postnatal treatment of Ureaplasma colonization may be considered to contr ol BPD development.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
