Today, the problem of perinatal mortality is of global importance. Antenatal losses in the structure of perinatal mortality are controversial in the etiology and pathogenesis, they require further study and development of measures to be prevented. A number of works are devoted to the study of the infectious factor as one of the most important in the pathogenesis of this complication of pregnancy. For various reasons, the relationship between infection and antenatal fetal death is often not clear. The most important point is that an infectious disease is not always detected when examining a woman and a fetus. With histological studies of the placenta and fetus it is possible to miss the causative agent of the infection. In addition, even with the obvious presence of an infectious disease, it can not always be said for sure that it was this infectious agent that have caused the fetal death. The observation of the clinical case of antenatal fetal death is presented.
Key words: antenatal fetal death, infectious complications of pregnancy, generalized viral infections.
