Abstract
Pregnancy is not an immunocompromised state; however, there is a high degree of immunomodulation occurring in the mother’s body to save the fetus from rejection. These modulatory processes are highly selective in its areas, and most other systemic organs have a negligible spillover of this effect.Keywords
