Intra-Amniotic Infection and Sterile Intra-Amniotic Inflammation Are Associated With Elevated Concentrations of Cervical Fluid Interleukin-6 in Women With Spontaneous Preterm Labor With Intact Membranes

open access: yesJournal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2022
To determine the concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the cervical fluid in women with spontaneous preterm labor with intact fetal membranes (PTL) complicated by intra-amniotic infection (the presence of both microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity

Calprotectin Levels in Amniotic Fluid in Relation to Intra-Amniotic Inflammation and Infection in Women With Preterm Labor With Intact Membranes: A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 2022
Objective: To evaluate the concentrations of calprotectin in amniotic fluid with respect to intra-amniotic inflammation and infection and to assess the presence or absence of bacteria in the amnio-chorionic niche with respect to presence or absence of ...

Sludge reflects intra‐amniotic inflammation with or without microorganisms

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2017
ProblemTo investigate whether amniotic fluid (AF) “sludge” in patients with preterm labor (PTL) with intact membranes is related to intra‐amniotic infection or inflammation.Method of study105 PTL patients before 29 weeks’ gestation were enrolled. AF “sludge” was evaluated by transvaginal sonography.

Clinical Significance of Intra-Amniotic Inflammation in Patients With Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2004
This study was conducted to determine the frequency and clinical significance of intra-amniotic inflammation in patients with preterm premature rupture of the membranes.Amniotic fluid was retrieved from 219 patients with preterm premature rupture of the membranes; the fluid was cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and mycoplasmas and assayed for

Proteomic biomarker analysis of amniotic fluid for identification of intra‐amniotic inflammation

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2005
Background  Intra‐amniotic inflammation is associated with poor neonatal outcome independent of prematurity. We applied proteomic technology (SELDI: surface‐enhanced laser desorption ionisation) to identify the proteomic profile of intra‐amniotic inflammation.Design  One hundred and four samples of amniotic fluid were analysed. In stage 1, samples from

Clinical Significance of Intra-Amniotic Inflammation in Patients With Preterm Labor and Intact Membranes

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2001
The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and clinical significance of intraamniotic inflammation in patients with preterm labor and intact membranes.Amniocentesis was performed in 206 patients with preterm labor and intact membranes. Amniotic fluid was cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and mycoplasmas.

Placental and intra-amniotic inflammation are associated with altered fetal immune responses at birth

Placenta, 2019
High-grade placental inflammation is associated with preterm birth and poor neonatal outcomes. Recent reports suggest that low-grade placental inflammation is common in uncomplicated pregnancies. The relationship between placental inflammation and innate immune anti-microbial responses is unknown.

Noninvasive Prediction of Intra-Amniotic Infection and/or Inflammation in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

Reproductive Sciences, 2012
To develop a model based on noninvasive parameters to predict the probability of intra-amniotic infection and/or inflammation (IAI) in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROMs).Maternal blood was collected for determination of the C-reactive protein (CRP) level and white blood cell (WBC) count immediately after amniocentesis in 171 ...

Intra‐amniotic inflammation in human gastroschisis: possible aetiology of postnatal bowel dysfunction

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1998
Objective To assess amniotic fluid for evidence of an inflammatory exudate in association with fetal gastroschisis.Setting University College Hospital, London and Institute of Child Health, London.Sample Samples of amniotic fluid in the third trimester from pregnant women with a diagnosis of fetal gastroschisis (n = 10) and from a ...
