Increased serum levels of interleukin 6 are associated with severe intraventricular haemorrhage in extremely premature infants.
BACKGROUND Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and periventricular leucomalacia (PVL) in premature infants presumably have many causes. It has been proposed that inflammatory processes in the fetomaternal unit play an important role in the pathogenesis of these lesions. OBJECTIVE To study the correlation of postpartum serum interleukin 6 (IL6) concentration as a marker of inflammation and neon...
متن کاملIncreased plasma levels of interleukin-6 in sepsis.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is likely to be an important mediator of the inflammatory response. We measured levels of this cytokine in plasma samples from 37 patients with sepsis or septic shock obtained at the time of admission to the intensive care unit and related these levels to hemodynamic and biochemical parameters as well as to clinical outcome. In 32 of the 37 patients, increased levels of IL-...
متن کاملMaternal Recto-Vaginal Organisms and Surface Skin Colonization in Infants
Background: Early-onset sepsis is a common cause of neonatal mortality and mainly occurs due to the colonized microorganisms in the maternal recto-vaginal area. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of maternal risk factors on recto-vaginal colonization and transmission rate of micro-flora from mothers to infants. Methods: Upon admission, two samples were obtained from the distal thi...

متن کاملMaternal serum levels of interleukin-6 and β-hCG in women with hyperemesis gravidarum in the first trimester of pregnancy
Background and Objective: Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is defined as vomiting sufficiently severe to produce weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory and trophoblast-derived cytokine has ability to induce trophoblasts to secrete human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The purpose of our study was to assay the level of IL-6 and β-hCG in serum of pr...
