Clinical Reminder: New Year’s Safety – Preventing Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Prevention - Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a condition characterized by abnormal facial features, growth retardation, and central nervous system problems.  It can occur if a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy.  Children with FAS may have physical disabilities and problems with learning, memory, attention, problem solving, and social/behavioral problems.
Please post information about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome for your patients of child-bearing age: http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/fas/default.htm.

The Emerging Infectious Disease (EID) journal provides recognition of new and re-emerging infections and understanding of factors involved in disease emergence, prevention, and elimination. It also represents the scientific communications component of CDC's efforts against the threat of emerging infections. See the January 2006 issue of the EID journal at the following link:
