-There is broad support for the conclusion that early infections, especially acute infections, predispose a person to later onset of chronic diseases, diseases which are likely caused by chronic microbial infections. The role beta-lactam antibiotics, which are often prescribed for acute infections, play in fostering the growth of L-form bacteria is discussed elsewhere.+There is broad support for the conclusion that early infections, especially acute infections, predispose a person to later onset of chronic diseases, diseases which are likely caused by chronic microbial infections.

   * **Prenatal infection and autism** – A population-wide study from Denmark spanning two decades of births indicates that infection during pregnancy increases the risk of autism in the child. Hospitalization for a viral infection, like the flu, during the first trimester of pregnancy triples the odds. Bacterial infection, including of the urinary tract, during the second trimester increases chances by 40 percent.(({{pubmed>long:20414802}}))   * **Prenatal infection and autism** – A population-wide study from Denmark spanning two decades of births indicates that infection during pregnancy increases the risk of autism in the child.
