title: [Infectious placentitis and characterization of the placenta as an immune barrier].
abstract: Analysis of publications dealing with infectious pathology of placenta is performed. Placentitis of different etiology and different routes of contamination have specific features. The incidence of viral and mycoplasma etiology with intracellular multiplication of the agent is considerably higher than of bacterial or other placentitis with extracellular multiplication. The incidence of placentitis is considerably higher than that of intrauterine infection. Placenta is an organ of immune protection of the organism and is capable to produce both specific and non-specific immunity factors.
