Этиологическая структура и особенности клинических проявлений неонатальных инфекций у детей, рожденных путем кесарева сечения

The etiological structure and clinical manifestations of neonatal infections in 194 newborns hospitalized in an infectious hospital were studied. 44 children were born by cesarean section (CS), 150 children – by vaginal delivery (VD). Children born by cesarean section were significantly more often hospitalized for mixed infections of the respiratory, gastrointestinal tract and pyoinflammatory skin diseases (CS-20.5% and VD-3.3%, p<0.01). In children born by the operative route, infectious diarrhea (CS-66% and VD-39%, p<0.01), bronchiolitis (CS-20.8% and VD-6. 25%, р<0. 05), pyodermia caused by S. aureus (CS-23% and VD-15.9%, р<0.05), severe acute respiratory viral infections (CS-20.8% and VD-6.25%, р<0.05) were diagnosed more often than in children born by the vaginal delivery. The revealed features of the course of neonatal infections in children born by cesarean section dictate the need for in-depth studies on this topic.
