Morphofunctional characteristics of placenta at III trimester of pregnancy in carriers of chronic infections

Author Affiliations

Abstract

The investigation of morphological and functional features of the placenta in carriers of chronic infections has been conducted. 308 patients have been examined: group 1 consisted of women with chronic carrier transplacental infections (n = 177), received from them the placenta (n = 54) and infants of these mothers (n = 177); II group - pregnant women with fetal uninfected ovums (n = 131), placenta (n = 42) and infants of the mothers (n = 131). All placentas underwent histological and morphological investigations followed with data statistical processing. The study allowed identification of a limited basal plate and / or the intervillous space inflammatory changes, as well as morphological features of high functional tension in placentas obtained from women with carriage of transplacental infections. This may lead to failure of compensatory resources with the deterioration of the fetus during childbirth at the beginning of labor.
