Most of the neonates (87%) from mothers, who had influenza A (H1N1) 2009, had neonatal period disorders: congenital pneumonia--2 (12.5%), cerebral ischemia--10 (62.5%), hyperbilirubinemia--2 (12.5%), vegeto-visceral syndrome--4 (25%), hemorrhagic, convulsive and respiratory distress syndrome--1 (6.7%) each. Alteration in placenta was detected--influenza placentitis. Transplacental route of virus transmission was not detected.ConclusionPregnant women are a high risk group for influenza and serious complications caused by the virus.
