Morbidity rates in children with congenital infections in the first year of life
Abstract
Congenital infections have a serious impact on the health of newborns and infants, affecting their physical and neurological development. The purpose of our study was to study the effect of congenital infections on the further development of children; for this aim was studied the incidence of these children in the first year of life. The study included 158 children with congenital infection (main group), who were divided into subgroups of term and preterm children depending on gestational age.
The results of our study show a high incidence of diseases of the respiratory system and nervous system, as well as diseases of the blood and hematopoietic organs in the first year of life in both term and preterm children born with congenital infection. In addition, congenital anomalies, ear and skin diseases are a significant problem, especially in preterm babies.
