Immunobiological mechanisms of perinatal lesions of the central nervous system

One of the leading problems of Soviet health care is antenatal protection of the fetus and prevention of perinatal morbidity and mortality. The main cause of perinatal mortality and severe neurological lesions in childhood is still the birth craniocerebral trauma. Therefore, birth injuries in newborns have been and remain an urgent problem of neonatology. In the first days of life, 10-30% of newborns have some neurological symptoms. According to A.Yu. Ratner, natal damage to the nervous system during delivery occurs under the influence of not only purely mechanical causes, but to a greater extent, numerous antenatal factors that require the most, serious study in this regard. From such positions, the study of the immunological mechanism of intrauterine brain damage of the fetus and the newborn is of particular interest for psychiatrists and neuropathologists.
