FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to diagnostic techniques and concerns a diagnostic techniques technique for respiratory function of peripheral blood erythrocytes in pregnant women in herpes virus infection episode in the third trimester. The technique consists in determination of glutathione reductase and herpes virus antibody titre concentration by the enzyme immunoassay in peripheral blood in pregnant women suffered from a herpes virus infection episode. If glutathione reductase concentration is 8.36±0.137 E/g Hb (ref. - 7.82±0.185 E/g Hb), herpes virus antibody titre is 1:6400. If herpes virus antibody titre is increased to 1:12800, erythrocyte glutathione reductase concentration is decreased 4.48±0.22 E/g Hb.
EFFECT: technique is characterised by high sensitivity and allows predicting the development of impaired respiratory activity of erythrocytes in the pregnant women with the herpes virus infection episode.
