Prenatal Infection of the Newborns as an Epidemic Marker in Maternity Hospitals

Abstract

Relevance. According to official statistics prenatal infections outweigh neonatal purulent-septic infections. The clinical picture of prenatal infections is not the specifics. Doctors put a newborn diagnosed based on the mother's medical history, additional studies are not carried out. This leads to incorrect treatment of newborns and incorrect assessment of the epidemiological situation in the matenityhospital. We need to study prenatal infections as a marker epidemic in the matenity hospital. Materials and methods. The study used data from official statistics and special form developed by researchers. Follow-up was 26 years (1991 to 2016). Total 26601 analyzed the case of newborn infections, including 6330 – prenatal infections. Results. Increasing the number of diagnoses prennatalnyh infections coincides with increasing neonatal sepsis diseases, respiratory tract infections, skin infections and intestinal infections. Growth for the prenatal infections correlates with lack midwife and their high production load, the increasing number of complications during childbirth. Conclusion. Prenatal neonatal infection is a mask of infections associated with medical care. The medical organization requires constant monitoring of the number of prenatal infections. Growth prenatal infections should be regarded as a marker to the complications of the epidemiological situation in the hospital.
