Abstract. This article is devoted to the study of clinical and diagnostic conditions of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in premature newborns. It was established that the clinical manifestations of respiratory organ damage in newborns with sepsis could be attributed to COVID-19 infection contracted during pregnancy. All newborns with sepsis required respiratory support, but the duration of its application was significantly higher in the group of newborns born to mothers who had COVID-19 during pregnancy (p<0.001). The need for respiratory support also depended on the gestational age.
