A large body of work has reported a link between prenatal exposure to infection and increased psychiatric risk in offspring. However, studies to date have focused primarily on exposure to severe prenatal infections and/or individual psychiatric diagnoses in clinical samples, typically measured at single time points, and without accounting for important genetic and environmental confounders. In this study, we investigated whether exposure to common infections during pregnancy is prospectively associated with repeatedly assessed child psychiatric symptoms in a large population-based study.

儿童产前感染暴露与内化和外化问题的发展：一项基于人群的纵向研究

大量研究报告称，产前接触感染与后代精神疾病风险增加之间存在联系。然而，迄今为止的研究主要集中于临床样本中严重产前感染和/或个体精神病学诊断的暴露，通常在单个时间点进行测量，并且没有考虑重要的遗传和环境混杂因素。在这项研究中，我们在一项基于大规模人群的研究中调查了怀孕期间接触常见感染是否与反复评估的儿童精神症状存在前瞻性相关。
