The fetal inflammatory response syndrome.
Francesca Gotsch,Roberto Romero,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Beth L. Pineles,Offer Erez,Jimmy Espinoza,Sonia S. Hassan +7 more
TL;DR: A systemic fetal inflammatory response, as determined by an elevated fetal plasma interleukin-6 value, is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of severe neonatal morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammation in Pregnancy: Its Roles in Reproductive Physiology, Obstetrical Complications, and Fetal Injury
TL;DR: A fetal inflammatory systemic response occurs in a fraction of fetuses exposed to microorganisms in utero, and is associated with the impending onset of labor as well as multisystem organ involvement.
