[Study of immunological status in women with post-term pregnancy].
The aim of the work was to study immunological homeostasis by comparing the immune responses during physiological, post-term and prolonged pregnancy. 51 women were divided into 3 groups. In the first group there were 13 pregnant women with post-term pregnancy, in the second group--8 pregnant women with prolonged pregnancy and in the third group--30 pregnant women with term pregnancy. All of them were practically healthy pregnant women. We could not find reliable differences between full-term and prolonged pregnancies, but in latter cases there was a trend towards deficiency of immunologic factors. Post-term pregnancy was characterized as an immunophatologic condition. It may be concluded that post-term newborns must be included into the high-risk group and be permanently observed by pediatricians.
