[CLINICAL CASE OF TRICHOMONAS VAGINALIS INVASION OF THE PREGNANT WOMAN AND HER NEWBORN GIRL]

Objective - study of the features of Trichomonas vaginalis invasion in pregnant women and newborns. The cultures of Trichomonas isolated from a pregnant woman, her newborn girl, as well as amniotic fluid were examined. The ultrastructure of the cells was studied using a TEM-125K microscope equipped with a SAI-01A system (SELMI), using a DX 2 CCD camera and the KAPPA software package. The verification of STI pathogens was carried out by PCR, in particular, Trichomonas tenax and Pentatrichomonas hominis were identified by experimental original primers that were developed using real-time PCR (PCR-RT). The invasion of Trichomonas vaginalis of the genital tract of a newborn girl, amniotic fluid and amniotic membrane is characterized clinically and instrumentally. We proved the possibility of Trichomonas vaginalis invasion of newborn children not only during the passage of the child through the infected birth canal, but also due to a defect in the fetal membranes with the development of chorioamnionitis, followed by infection of the amniotic fluid and possible infection of the fetus.
