MARKERS OF INTRAUTERINE INFECTIONS IN PREGNANT WOMEN AND NEWBORNS

Currently there persists a high incidence of infections specific for the early neonatal period, among which fetal infections predominate. Infections of the fetus and the newborn infant play a significant role in the development of infectious inflammatory diseases. The relevance of the problem of fetal infections is due not only to the severe course in the neonatal period, but also to the risk of developing serious diseases in the future. The true incidence of congenital infections has not yet been established. This article analyzes the prevalence of the main pathogens of fetal infections in newborns and pregnant women. The frequency of implementation of intrauterine infection has significant differences in etiology. Transmission of CMV, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae was observed as often as possible, and in the case of Ureaplasma urealyticum in pregnant women, the active process took place three times more often than in newborns. An active infectious process of Toxoplasma gondii was not observed in any newborn. Assessment of the frequency of detection of intrauterine infections in patients in the intensive care unit made it possible to conclude that the severity of the condition is not determined by any one infectious agent, but is the result of a complex effect. Infection with Candida albicas is rarely diagnosed. This is apparently due to insufficient diagnostics. In the vast majority of cases, the source of infection for the fetus is the mother. Fetal infections are considered one of the most pressing problems of modern medicine, the solution of which is possible only with an interdisciplinary approach and joint work of medical specialists of various profiles (obstetricians-gynecologists, infectious disease specialists, neonatologists, pediatricians, epidemiologists).
