The work identified concomitant diseases in 120 pregnant women suffering from chronic viral hepatitis B and C (CHB and CHC), aged 19 to 30 years. In the structure of extragenital pathology, the largest percentage belongs to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, which was detected in 71.0% of 69 patients with CHB, in 76.5% of 51 pregnant women with CHC and in 42.1% of 57 relatively healthy pregnant women. Among the nosological forms were mainly chronic gastritis, chronic gastroduodenitis, biliary dyskinesia and chronic pancreatitis. Chronic viral hepatitis in pregnant women determines a high incidence of gastrointestinal tract damage due to biliary dyskinesia, apparently associated with viral liver damage. Urogenital infections among pregnant women are significantly more common in patients with CHB (59.4%) and CHC (80.3%) (p <0.05) than in those without liver pathology (21.5%). Among the urogenital infections, the most common was a combination of chlamydia and candidiasis, and less frequently, trichomonas infection, and only one patient was diagnosed with syphilis. Chronic viral hepatitis is a factor contributing to the development of urogenital infection in pregnant women.
