Brief summary
Histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) may lead to the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) and increased levels of proinflammatory molecules.
Detailed description
Histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) may lead to the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS). The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate S100A12, a marker of innate immune activation, in mothers with or without HCA and in their infants. Concentrations of S100A12, Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were evaluated in maternal, cord, and neonatal blood of very preterm infants. Histologic examinations of placentae and umbilical cords were performed.
