Etiological characteristics of infectious diseases in the perinatal period in the Omsk Region

Childhood morbidity is not only the most important determinant of irretrievable losses of the population due to mortality, but also is a major factor that contributes to the lower general potential of public health. The latest studies indicate that the prevalence of intrauterine infections is considerably higher than previously considered, which suggests that their etiology is represented by a broader spectrum of microorganisms. The study of the pattern of perinatal infectious pathology while examining amniotic fluid and uterine cavity contents has shown that there is a preponderance of the bacterial microflora. The results of studying the placenta suggest the high level (83%) of intrauterine rotavirus infection. The high incidence of rotavirus infection in the neonatal period may be associated with rotavirus infection during pregnancy, which substantiates the need for further investigations.
