BACKGROUND Emergence of Zika virus as a pathogen with important implications for perinatal outcomes highlights the need to identify safe and effective strategies for prevention and treatment of maternal infections. METHODS While substantial progress has been made in this area in recent years, significant regulatory and health systems barriers must still be overcome to identify and deliver evidence-based drug therapies for pregnant women. RESULTS We review progress and outstanding challenges associated with the identification and implementation of new treatment options for maternal infections. CONCLUSION We describe several strategies in use to optimize the application of existing evidence.Birth Defects Research 109:387-390, 2017.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
