This study was designed to assess the association between pregnancy-related exposures to antibiotics recommended for use in the event of a bioterrorism attack and major congenital malformations. A retrospective cohort study included 30,049 infants from Tennessee Medicaid born between 1985–2000 identified from computerized state databases. Infants with fetal exposures to ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, doxycycline, and amoxicillin (antibiotics recommended for potential bioterrorism attacks) and erythromycin (included as a positive control) were compared to infants with no fetal exposure to any antibiotics. Major congenital malformations identified from computerized records were confirmed through medical record review. Overall, 869 (2.9%) of infants in the cohort had a confirmed major congenital malformation, with major malformations ranging from 2.5%–3.0% among the antibiotic-specific exposure groups. No increased risk was present in multivariable analyses for any malformations and for malformations of specific organ systems. In conclusion, these data suggest that ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, doxycycline, or amoxicillin use by pregnant women should not result in a greater incidence of overall major congenital malformations in infants whose mothers take these medications, though a large increase in risk cannot be ruled out.
