Polymorphisms in immunoregulatory genes and the risk of histologic chorioamnionitis in Caucasoid women: a case control study [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2005 Background Chorioamnionitis is a common underlying cause of preterm birth (PTB). It is hypothesised that polymorphisms in immunoregulatory genes influence the host response to infection and subsequent preterm birth.

Immunobiology of Acute Chorioamnionitis. [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Acute chorioamnionitis is characterized by neutrophilic infiltration and inflammation at the maternal fetal interface. It is a relatively common complication of pregnancy and can have devastating consequences including preterm labor, maternal infections,

Acute histologic chorioamnionitis at term: nearly always noninfectious. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The link between histologic acute chorioamnionitis and infection is well established in preterm deliveries, but less well-studied in term pregnancies, where infection is much less common.We conducted a secondary analysis among 195 low-risk women with ...

Determining the Maternal and Fetal Cellular Immunologic Contributions in Preterm Deliveries With Clinical or Subclinical Chorioamnionitis [PDF]
Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1997 Objective: Our purpose was to determine the maternal and fetal polymorphonuclear contributions to preterm histologic chorioamnionitis and whether this response differs in clinical chorioamnionitis when compared to cases without clinical ...

Apoptosis in the chorion laeve of term patients with histologic chorioamnionitis. [PDF]
, 2002 OBJECTIVE: The balance between cell survival and cell death (apoptosis) is critical during development and may affect organ function. Apoptosis is accelerated in the presence of infection and inflammation in a variety of organ systems.

Chorioamnionitis: An Update on Diagnostic Evaluation
Biomedicines, 2023 Chorioamnionitis remains a major cause of preterm birth and maternal and neonatal morbidity. We reviewed the current evidence for the diagnostic tests of chorioamnionitis and how this relates to clinical practice today.

Maternal C-reactive protein for detection of chorioamnionitis: an appraisal. [PDF]
, 2005 Premature delivery is still a significant problem in obstetrics, and chorioamnionitis is an unwelcome complication. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a circulating marker of low-grade inflammation and the role of its measurement in clinical practice remains ...
