ABSTRACT
Continuous, 12 hours-long cardiotocographic recordings preceding intrauterine death of fetus (in 29 week) with non immunological hydrops were analysed. The features of CTG recordings were: absence of short and long-term variability, absence of tachycardia, presence of late decelerations, and terminal bradycardia of short duration.

The relation between umbilical cord blood pH intra partum cardiotocography, amniotic fluid index and Apgar score was studied in 32 newborns. We found that cord blood pH, intra partum cardiotocography, amniotic fluid index, and Apgar score were rather poorly related.

In the period od February-August 1995 fifty-two pregnant women treated for imminent premature deliveries were tested. Among 18 of them (34.6%) presence of chlamydial antibodies were found. The premature rupture of membranes occurred in 19.2% of women with positive Ch. trachomatis test results (p < 0.05).
