[The analysis of factors which affect qualification of pregnant women as cord blood donors].

Authors' analysis refers to reasons for which some women did not meet criteria for the programme of collection of cord blood by The Cord Blood Bank in Warsaw. The main reasons were: 1) reactivation of infection with CMV virus, 2) complications of delivery and 3) technical problems. We present also preliminary results of blood tests aimed at identification of some viral (hepatitis B and C, HIV, CMV), bacterial (Treponema pallidum) and protozoal infections (Toxoplasma) in the selected group of pregnant women.
