FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: assessing the inducing action of cytomegalovirus infection on a newborn's erythrocyte methaemoglobin and oxyhaemoglobin in peripheral blood in aggravated cytomegalovirus infection in a pregnant woman in the third trimester of gestation is ensured by determining erythrocyte count pre-stained with 0.1% methylene blue. The cytomegalovirus antibody titre being 1:1600 accompanied by an increase of the erythrocyte count 45 min after the staining to 62.5±1.9%, an increase of methaemoglobin to 1.8±0.08%, a decrease of oxihaemoglobin to 96.5±2.9% is stated as a disturbed methaemoglobin recovery and reduced haemoglobin oxygenation that leads to developing haemic anaemia in a newborn.
EFFECT: method enables studying the haemoglobin oxygenation in peripheral blood erythrocytes of newborns of the mothers suffering from aggravated cytomegalovirus infection in the third trimester of gestation.
