Maternal Fever Is a Factor in the Child to Develop Autism

Researchers have found that maternal fever during pregnancy is linked to a higher risk of autism in their children.
According to Salamat News, mothers should be very careful about fever during pregnancy, as it may lead to autism in their children.
The study examined the risk of autism in children following maternal fever and showed that maternal fever in the second trimester is associated with autism in their children.
According to Medical, researchers from Columbia University in New York City stated: The risk of autism increases with fever after 12 weeks of pregnancy, and this increase is 300-fold in the second trimester.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a group of disorders

that appear in early childhood and include problems with social interaction and repetitive behaviors.
ASD is a widespread and complex disorder that no two people have the same symptoms.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),

one in 68 children in the United States has autism,

and boys are 4.5 times more likely to be affected than girls.
In addition, the direct and indirect costs of treating

the condition range from $11.5 billion to $60.9 billion.
The study was published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.
