Influenza virus infection as well as increased risk for severe and fetal respiratory infections are illustrated in the long-term effects of FAE. Chronic alcohol exposure in utero interferes with the normal T-cell and B-cell development of the fetus, which may increase the risk of infections during childhood and adult development. ![]() Mechanisms of impaired immune proliferation and function in FASD are a subject of the review. The results suggest that fetal alcohol exposure (FAE) induces long-term defects in the immunity and susceptibility to various infections. The chapter discusses various long-term effects of drinking during pregnancy on the immune and the neuroimmune systems of the developing fetus, baby and child. The present review is aimed to fill up these gaps in knowledge. Limited human studies have been conducted on the immune status of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). ![]()
