Вплив перенесених паразитарних інфекцій під час вагітності на імунну систему плода (огляд літератури)

Abstract

Transmission of infections during pregnancy is known to alter the development and functioning of the fetus immune system, resulting in an inadequate immune response to common childhood infections and immunizations. Although it is a developing and actively researched topic, maternal parasitic infections remain poorly understood. Millions of women of reproductive age are currently at risk of parasite infection, while many pregnant, chronically infected women are excluded from mass drug administration due in part to a lack of resources, as well as fear of unknown adverse fetal outcomes. infection, there is no clear mechanism for understanding how maternal infection reprograms offspring immunity. Purpose - to determine the currently studied mechanisms of the influence of parasitic infections transmitted during pregnancy on the immune system of the fetus and to describe the possible effects of these influence in the long term on the health of children. Conclusions. The study of maternal parasitic infections is a rapidly developing field. Although infant mortality rates are declining, areas with endemic parasites still have the highest infant mortality rates. As antiparasitic therapy is not always curable, there is a critical need to understand the effects of maternal infection on offspring immune development. Due to the increased risk of immune alteration due to maternal inflammation and reduced passive antibody transmission, maternal parasitic infections and their mechanism of adverse immunomodulation must be uncovered to improve vaccination regimens and reduce childhood morbidity in endemic regions.
