LECTURE SUBJECT:
“Intrauterine
infections”
Definition
Intrauterine infections (IUI) are an established
fact of the virus or microorganism entry to the
fetus from mother, it has clinical and laboratory
signs of infection disease.
Among the IUI the most frequent is
TORCH-infection, that means T-Toxoplasmosis,
R-Rubeola, C–Cytomegalia, H–Herpetica
infectio, O–Other.
Intrauterine contamination is a possible fact of
the entry to the fetus of various causative agents,
but there is no clinical manifestations.
Actuality


During last decades IUI take the I-III place at the
structure of mortality reasons (2-65%) of the
newborns in Ukraine.
During last years the increase of frequency of this
pathology is observed. This is caused by increase
of contamination by the IUI specific agents of
women of childbearing age (at pregnant women
cytomegalovirus is determined at 13-91% of cases,
Coxsackie enterovirus В-at 2-74%, herpes virus of
the 2 type – at 7-47%, chlamydias – at 25-40%,
mycoplasmas –at17-50%, streptococcus of the В
group – at 35%). The frequency of the fetus
infection is 5-70%.
Risk factor of the IUI beginnings






From the mother’s side:

Compromised obstetric history
(abortions, stillbirth, miscarriage of the
previous pregnancies)
Pathologic course of present pregnancy 
(threat of abortion, hydramnion,
exfoliation of placenta, untimely
discharge of amniotic fluid, gestosis)

Diseases of the urogenital system
(colpitis, vulvovaginitis, pyelonephritis,

cervical erosion, ovarian cysts)
Extragenital pathology of pregnancy,

ARVI during pregnancy
Pathologic course of delivery
(protracted waterless interval, dirty
amniotic fluid, obstetric help at birth) 

Inflammatory infectious processes,
increase of t of mother before, during or
after birth (endometritis, mastitis)

From the child’s side:
Prematurity, intrauterine growth
retardation ,growth violations,
disembriogenetic stigma
Manifestations of the nonspecific
infectious process (pneumonia ,
hepatitis, meningoencephalitis, fever at
the 1st day of life)
Manifestations of the specific infectious
process
Inflammatory changes of the
peripheral blood
Typical changes at USE of brain
(hemorrhages, ventriculitis, echodense
inclusions, internal hydrocephalus)
Jaundice of the unknown origin
Micro- or hydrocephalus, lasting
convulsions
Neurologic violations, that are first time
registered in few days after birth
Etiology
Viruses:
cytomegalovirus – DNA-virus from the group of herpetic infection;
of herpes simplex of the 1st – 2nd type – DNA-virus from the group of
herpetic infection;
of chickenpox - DNA-virus from the group of herpetic infection;
of rubella, measles, epidemic parotiditis – RNA-virus, mixovirus;
enterovirus – RNA-virus from the group of Coxsackie, ЕСНО;
respiratory viruses – of grippe, paragrippe, adenoviruses, RS-viruses;
of viral hepatitis.

Bacteria: listeria, treponema, mycobacteria Kochii, opportunistic
pathogenic flora (streptococcus B, D, Escherichia coli,
enterobacteria).

Parasites – toxoplasma.

Mycoplasma.

Chlamidia.

IUI characteristic features
Source of infection (pregnant woman, parturient woman, mother)
 Infection ways:
Contaminational – it occurs through infected amniotic fluid by:
Hematogenic (diaplacental) - placenta injure, placental barrier violations.
ascending way – in case of infection entry from vagina, neck of uterus;
descending way – in case of infection entry from abdominal cavity through uterine tubes;
contacting – in case of localization of the infection source right in the uterine wall, in the
placenta.
Intranatal – during fetus going through infected maternal passages.
 IUI causative agents have the high tropism to the majority of fetus tissues and organs.
 The diagnostics is difficult because of:
The infection process in the mother’s organism often is symptomless;
The fetus disease is caused not only by the direct action of causative agent, but also by
mixed infection, intoxication, immunologic changes, metabolism violations at mother’s
organism;
This pathology often is hidden by the mask of intrauterine growth retardation, hypoxia, birth
trauma
 IUI of the newborns often is displayed by latent infection because of prolonged agent
persistence.
 The level of injury depends on ruggedness of contagion and the terms of gestation.
 The possibility of fetus infection increases with increase of gestation terms.

Pathogenesis



The fetus infection during the embryonal growth period causes
the development of infection embryopathies, that displays as
fetus wastage at the early terms, stillbirth, development of the
congenital growth defects (as a result of alternative,
proliferative inflammatory changes).
The fetus infection during placental growth period causes the
fetopathies development. In this case placenta and fetus have
the pathogenic changes. The fetopathies include: preterm
delivery, intrauterine growth retardation, plural stigmas. The
development of congenital defects of the systems that did not
finish its growth is possible. Till the 5th- 6th month of antenatal
growth the disease courses as generalized process with the
blood circulation violations, dystrophic and necrotic changes.
The infection during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy causes the
child’s birth with the disease manifestations. Pathologic
changes are caused by the ternary inflammation character.
IUI consequences
І. At antenatal infection:
Abortions, miscarriages, stillbirth.
Growth defects, dysplasia of the internals.
Neonatal death.
Recovery.
Persistence of the causative agent of the clinically healthy
child.
ІІ. At intranatal infection:
Growth imbalance.
Functional and organic violations (encephalopathies,
endocrinopathy).
Chronic diseases (nephritis, pyelonephritis, pneumonia).
Classification
By the periods of initiation:
antenatal (embryopathies, fetopathies)
intranatal
postnatal (nosocomial)
 By the periods:
early neonatal ( from the birth till the 7th
day)
late neonatal (8-28 days)
 By the transfer path:
hematogenic
contaminational
intranatal
 By the etiology: viral, bacterial,
parasitic, mycoplasmal, chlamidial,
fungous, mixed

By the form:
localized
generalized
 By the phase:
active
inactive
residual
 By the course:
acute
subacute
chronic
latent



Intoxicational (decrease of appetite, weight increase delay, hypotrophy,
flaccidity, sclerema, bleach, grey color of skin or jaundice, purpura).
Respiratory (dyspnea, tachypnea, apnea, cyanosis of the nasolabial
triangle, the ancillary muscles part in the breathing act).

Clinical and diagnostic criteria of
cytomegalovirus infection
Causative agent: cytomegalovirus – DNA- virus of the herpetic origin. It has some features:
immensely large DNA, the possibility of replication without cell damage, slow replication,
it causes the rapid decrease of the cell immunity, the viral excretion survives during 2-8
years.

hemotransfusions.
For the generalized form of CMV-infection is characteristic the following: prematurity,
intrauterine growth retardation, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, nervous system injury,
interstitial pneumonia, damage of salivary glands, eyes, internal ear, kidney, hemorrhagic
syndrome.
The localized form (hepatitis) is much more rear.
