Doctors are warned today not to give antibiotics to women at risk of premature labour because of an increased chance that their babies will suffer from cerebral palsy. Letters have gone out from the Department of Health to doctors as a result of a follow-up study of babies born seven years ago, during a trial designed to see whether antibiotics could delay premature birth and so enable the baby to have a better chance of survival and good health.
