Abstract		Herpesviruses, hepatitis viruses, HIV, rubella, enterviruses, parvovirus B19, Chlamidia trachomatis and Toxoplasma gondii are the most common nonbacterial agent of congenital and perinatal infections. Some of the mentioned microbes will cross the placenta during the viremic stage in pregnant woman. A pregnant woman may have colonized genital tract with potential pathogens and in such cases the neonate may be infected during birth. Timely and accurate laboratory diagnosis of infectious agents of congenital and perinatal infections are crucial in prevention of morbidity and mortality of fetuses and neonates. Rapid development of modern methods in microbiology which involve use of monoclonal antibodies, enzyme immunoassays and highly sensitive methods of molecular biology, provide rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis of nonbacterial infections. Authors will describe basic principles of currently used methods.
