MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE TYMUS OF STILLBORN INFANTS

The thymus of infants confirmed in the autopsy materials of a stillborn fetus with infection in the mother was studied. The average weight of the thymus of babies in this group is 7.21±1.31g, and the thymus of healthy babies of the same period is 9.85±2.17g. The average thymus weight was found to be 28.65% smaller than the norm. In the 36-39 weeks of intrauterine development of the fetus, the effect of secondary infections developed in the mother was not strongly manifested in the development of the thymus, the main changes were secondary changes in the morphofunctional areas of the salivary gland, the formation of a large number of Gassal bodies, signs of fullness in the veins were determined.
