Guest guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7618221.stm A study has linked a small number of cases of cerebral palsy to antibiotics given to women in premature labour. The UK study found 35 cases of cerebral palsy in 769 children of women without early broken waters given antibiotics. This compared with 12 cases among 735 children of women not given the drugs. Advice is being sent to the study's 4,148 mothers and a helpline set up. Medical experts stressed pregnant women should not feel concerned about taking antibiotics to treat infections.
