Fetal Inflammatory Response Syndrome Associated With Maternal SARS-CoV-2 Infection [PDF]
Amid the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, uncertainty exists about the potential for vertical transmission from mothers infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to the fetus in utero. In this case report, we aim to demonstrate the occurrence of a fetal inflammatory response syndrome associated with maternal SARS-CoV ...

The use of imaging technology in the assessment of the fetal inflammatory response syndrome—imaging of the fetal thymus [PDF]
AbstractThe fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) describes a state of extensive fetal multi organ involvement during chorioamnionitis, and is associated with grave implications on perinatal outcome. The syndrome has been linked to the preterm parturition syndrome and is associated with inflammation/infection processes in most of the fetal organs.

Micronutrients and Intrauterine Infection, Preterm Birth and the Fetal Inflammatory Response Syndrome [PDF]
Prematurity is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Intrauterine infection has emerged as a major cause of premature labor and delivery. It has been estimated that 25% of all preterm deliveries occur to mothers who have microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity, although these infections are mostly subclinical in nature ...

Association between Chorioamnionitis Severity and Procalcitonin Levels in Umbilical Venous Blood
Background: Procalcitonin can effectively differentiate between bacterial sepsis and a systemic inflammatory response syndrome of noninfectious origins in the adult. However, the usefulness of procalcitonin in perinatal field is not determined. Thus, the
