Abstract:
Changes in the placentas of pregnant C57Bl/6 mice infected with BCG vaccine were studied by light microscopy and morphometry. The decrease in the numbers of maternal and fetal vessels was paralleled by destructive changes and disorders in the compensatory reactions, which led to fetal hypotrophy after infection with BCG vaccine.
