  • Title: Influenza epidemics and anencephaly.
    Author: Saxén L, Holmberg PC, Kurppa K, Kuosma E, Pyhälä R.
    Journal: Am J Public Health; 1990 Apr; 80(4):473-5. PubMed ID: 2316773.
    Abstract:
    To explore the postulated association between maternal influenza and congenital defects of the central nervous system, 14 virologically verified epidemics in Finland, 1969-82, were studied. Mothers of 248 anencephalic children were grouped into those whose first trimester had occurred during an epidemic period and those whose pregnancy had commenced during a non-epidemic period. No significant differences in prevalence of anencephaly were noted in these groups.
