FIELD: medicine, ophthalmology. SUBSTANCE: one should carry out immunological testing of blood serum. The presence of IgG and IgM antibodies to retinal S-antigen is detected due to immuno-enzymatic assay (IEA). At values of relative density being above 0.1 for each of them at terms of 29-40-wk-long gestation it is possible to predict the development of retinopathy in premature babies. EFFECT: higher efficiency of prediction. 2 ex
