Abstract

A range of infections, physical agents, maternal diseases and metabolic states, drugs, and chemicals have been demonstrated to be human teratogens. These agents cause structural or functional disabilities postnatally in exposed embryos and fetuses. Such disabilities are potentially totally preventable through public education and awareness. Pediatricians must be able to recognize potential teratogenic exposures, diagnose teratogenically-induced disabilities, and be knowledgeable in the natural history of these disorders so that they can support and educate those who care for these children in the home and in the community.
