127 children at the age from birth to three years were under investigation. The control group included 32 healthy children born from mothers who did not smoke. The consequences of smoking during pregnancy were evaluated by the thiocyanate content in children’s blood serum. Immune system stress functioning of children (group II) and its hypo function of children (group I) create pathogenic conditions for increased of morbidity among children of these groups.
