[New clinical entity in perinatology: fetal inflammatory response syndrome].

Orvosi hetilap, 2003
In spite of the adequate therapy serious inflammatory complications affect the majority of preterm neonates. Recently, the role of fetal inflammatory response syndrome has been emerged as a possible mechanism. This new clinical entity is characterised by the generalised activation of fetal immune system which is often the result of chorioamnionitis ...
