[Intrauterine infections: frequency and diagnosis]

Intrauterine infections occupy a considerable place in human pathology--a conclusion drawn on the basis of original and literature data. Herpetic, cytomegalic, mycoplasma and chlamydial infections are the most important among them. Intrauterine infections may be the cause of some diseases considered as somatic ones. The possibility of the pathology diagnosis of these disease not only on the basis of laboratory data but on the basis of characteristic structural changes of cells and tissues is shown.
