Amniotic fluid IL-6 concentrations in women with PPROM complicated by MIAC with respect to cervical bacteria CST.

<p>Abbreviations: IL-6—interleukin-6; MIAC—microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity; PPROM—preterm prelabor rupture of membranes; CST—community state type.</p

The presence of MIAC (a), histological chorioamnionitis (b), both MIAC and histological chorioamnionitis (c), and IAI (d) in PPROM with respect to cervical bacteria CSTs.

<p>Abbreviations: MIAC—microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity; IAI—intraamniotic infection;—preterm prelabor rupture of membranes; CST—community state type.</p
