Morphology and functions of erythrocyte membranes in pregnant women after exacerbation of herpesvirus infection.

Herpesvirus infection is associated with an increase of LPO and of the membrane lipid and lipid-protein layers microviscosity in erythrocyte membranes of pregnant patients. This results in modification of the erythrocyte stromal protein composition. Erythrocyte deformability increases sharply under these conditions, this leading to disorders in tissue metabolism in the organs of pregnant patients.
