Objective:
The aim: To analyze Ukrainian and foreign literature data on the consequences of perinatal infection and the peculiarities of their manifestation.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: Literature sources on the peculiarities of the course of infection that occur in the perinatal period and are a threat of congenital malformations or diseases in the newborn are collected.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The analyzed data of the clinical picture and management of the early neonatal period fully reflect the coherence and timeliness of medical care for infants born with signs of perinatal infection. It should be noted that the tactics of such a newborn depend on the clinical manifestations, the general condition of the baby, and the duration of infection of the mother with a particular infection.

HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.
Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
