Effect of chorioamnionitis on the levels of serum proteins in the cord blood of premature infants.

Abstract

Our investigation of the mutual relation of the data suggests that the increase of cytokine interleukin-6 affects each other component. We suggest that, compared with the serum levels of proteins in neonates with chorioamnionitis, levels in neonates without chorioamnionitis are more similar to those in the normal fetus.
