[Human fetal liver in hematogenic infection (a morphometric study)].
The results of a morphometric study of 40 human fetus livers at a 26-27 week of gestation are presented. There were fetuses with signs of intrauterine hypoxia, generalized intrauterine infection. It is shown that intrauterine hematogenic fetus infection is accompanied with evident destructive changes in the liver parenchyma as compared with the controls and numerous sites of hemopoiesis. The conditions for development of a generalized infectious process and sclerosis of portal tracts appear due to destructive changes as well as intoxication, secondary hypoxia and decrease of Kupffer's cells number.
