[The nosological structure of the mortality of fetuses\infants with extremely low weight (acccording to the 2004-2008 records of the Kursk Regional Morbid Anatomy Bureau)].

The authors present the results of studying the mortality of fetuses/infants with extremely low weight from the 2004-2008 records of the Children Pathology Department, Kursk Regional Morbid Anatomy Bureau. The nosological structure of pathology in late miscarriages points to the potential possibilities of reducing mortality rates, by rendering medical aid to pregnant women. The problems of early detection of fetal malformations and those of postmortem diagnosis of intrauterine infections retain their topicality.
