Includes bacterial/viral illnesses from a mother to her baby either while the baby is still in the uterus, during the delivery process, or shortly after birth. Maternal infection may cause complications at birth.

The term puerperal infection refers to a bacterial infection following childbirth.
HPV appears to be transferred from the mother to the infant during the birth process.
Approximately 20,000 infants are born each year to mothers who test positive for the hepatitis B virus.
That is the correct spelling of the adjective "perinatal" (around the time of birth).
About 1,600 cases and 80 newborn deaths still occur each year.
Intravenous drug use and sexual intercourse with infected partners increases the risks of exposure to most of these infections.
Cesarean delivery rather than vaginal delivery seems to reduce the risk of transmission of HPV from mothers to infants.

Perinatal transmission is more likely if the waters break prematurely.
Peri is a suffix that means about. So perinatal would mean about the time of birth.
The word perinatal means relating to a period slightly before and after birth. This is usually considered to be a couple of weeks.
