Objective:
The aim: To analyze the main types of intrauterine infections(IUI), their routes of transmission and features of the clinical picture, as well as the influence of pathogens on the course of pregnancy.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: Data review of native and foreign literature published over the past 5 years.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: Summing up, it should be noted the role of infections in the pathogenesis of pathological conditions that form in the perinatal period. This is evidenced by numerous works on the problem of CBS. The most significant perinatal risk factors for fetal infection have been identified. It is proved that in the development of infectious lesions of the fetus, the severity of the disease, the localization of the pathological process, the rate of implementation, and manifestations of the pathology are an important type of pathogen, the path of penetration of microorganisms from mother to fetus to the immune response. Unfortunately, today the problem of preventing CBS is still far from being solved. However, knowledge of the pathogenesis, quality diagnostic methods, effective prevention, and treatment measures can significantly reduce the frequency of VUI and the severity of their consequences for the child.

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.
