Infectious Disease Screening Programs
The Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) Infectious Disease Screening and Tracking Program began in 1988. This program helps to prevent babies from getting certain infectious diseases. The program identifies pregnant women who have hepatitis B or syphilis. We make sure each woman in the Program gets the treatment she needs during pregnancy. We also make sure her baby gets treated at birth to avoid getting the disease. With the right treatment during pregnancy and delivery, the chance for passing one of these diseases from the mother to the baby is very low.
