The morbidity, adaptation characteristics, production of melatonin and creatine kinase in newborns with intrauterine growth retardation were studied. It was found that with a symmetrical form of IUGR in newborns, there is not only a lag in growth, body weight, and the formation of postural and reflex reactions from the given gestational age, but also pronounced multiple organ failure, which significantly complicates their postnatal adaptation and, probably, determines a high frequency somatic pathology and disorders of psychomotor development in the following months of life. Children who have a lag in growth and body weight combined with a delay in the formation of postural and reflex reactions as a result of intrauterine infection and placental insufficiency of infectious genesis need therapy aimed at restoring and compensating for the impaired functions of the central nervous system and other functional systems of the body.
