Антропометрические параметры новорожденных с реализовавшейся трансмиссией ВИЧ

Abstract

Purpose of the study: evaluation of the anthropometric parameters of newborns with realized perinatal transmission of HIV. Materials and methods: The article presents the analysis of the main anthropometric parameters (length, weight, head and chest circumference) of 147 infants born to HIV-infected mothers who were divided into 2 groups of observation (with realized and unrealized transmission of HIV). Results: These results demonstrate that a reduction in comparison with the normative parameters of anthropomet ric indicators such as body weight, head circumference and chest circumference at birth, is a distinctive feature, sub stantiating intrauterine infection with HIV. Indicators body length did not significantly deviate from the norm in both groups observation that, apparently, was associated with a short-term impact of HIV on the child body during pregnan cy
