Abstract
Aim study. To study the etiology, nosological structure and pathomorphological changes in the liver and gastrointestinal tract in deceased newborns with perinatal infectious diseases.
Materials and methods. In total, 48 protocols of pathological autopsy of the deceased newborns were studied in 2018 and 2019. Gender, age of newborns, maternal gestational age, post-mortem bacteriological studies, as well as macroand microscopic changes in the gastrointestinal tract and liver were evaluated.
Results. Hepatitis and enterocolitis were part of generalized intrauterine infection and early neonatal sepsis — 19 cases each (39.6%), mainly in preterm infants (93.8%). Positive results of bacteriological studies of autopsy material were noted in 12% of cases. The most common causative agent in post-mortem bacteriological examination in early and late neonatal sepsis was Klebsiella pneumoniae. The main morphological manifestations of hepatitis in newborns were lobular hepatitis of various degrees of activity — 63.8%, as well as fetal giant cell hepatitis — 21.4%. Morphological changes in gastroenterocolitis were characterized mainly by the development of erosive-ulcerative enterocolitis (37.8%), productive enterocolitis (46.9%), less often serous-catarrhal, ulcerative-necrotic enterocolitis (6.25%).
