Amniotic fluid intercellular adhesion molecule-1 is a marker for Ureaplasma infection in women with preterm labor
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to determine the amniotic fluid soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 concentrations in women with preterm labor in relation to intra-amniotic infection. It is concluded that amniotic fluid soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 concentrations exceeding 1290 ng/ml can be used as a marker for intra-amniotic infection with Ureaplasma in patients with preterm labor.
