Although the recommendation to vaccinate pregnant women against corona was given six months ago, many women still choose not to be vaccinated for fear that it will harm their fetus.
Maybe the next study will change their minds.
A new study published in the prestigious scientific journal Science has found that virus infection during pregnancy can make the unborn child more prone to disease and health problems later on.
Scientists from the US National Institutes of Health say that mild infections in the mother can permanently damage their offspring's immune system. The study adds that this can lead to a variety of chronic conditions ranging from asthma and eczema to intestinal diseases.

"The immune system develops and changes in the face of antimicrobial exposure," wrote the study's editor, Dr. A. Ing-Lim.
In the present study we show that during pregnancy, disease in mothers may have a permanent and specific effect on the immunity of the offspring. "
Experiments conducted in mice found that the causes of viral diseases actually increase the fetus' immunity to intestinal infections. The findings add to the evidence that the immune system begins to develop in the womb and is greatly affected by maternal health.
The child's immune system is already formed in the mother's womb.

Pregnancy is often associated with suppressing the body's ability to fight disease.
However, it is not known how undiagnosed daily infections affect a child’s immune system.
These include mild infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract or food, which are usually resolved without special treatment.
In the present study, the researchers infected pregnant mice with the bacterium Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, a sticky bacterium that most often causes infection by oral infection and causes mild and transient disease.
The infection was short-lived and limited to the mother.
However the cells of the immune system in the gut called T cells increased in offspring and continued to rise until adulthood.

Another study found that the viral infection triggered a chemical in mothers called IL-6 (interleukin-6) a protein from the cytokinin group that plays an important role in the immune system that causes inflammation in response to the infection.
It altered the intestinal stem cells of the unborn puppies.
Dr. Lim adds that although the offspring are shown immunity to increased contamination of the intestines, but they also exhibited higher sensitivity to disease intestinal inflammation, as colitis.
The findings could shed light on cases increasing allergies and modes of behavior such as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and autism. " "In recent decades, there has been a marked increase in the incidence of inflammatory disorders in children, including asthma, allergies and behavioral difficulties driven in part by neuro-inflammation," researchers say in a media release. .
