TY - JOUR AU - Laudanski, Piotr AU - Pierzynski, Piotr AU - Laudanski, Tadeusz PY - 2007 DA - 2007/06/01 TI - Reductionist and system approaches to study the role of infection in preterm labor and delivery JO - BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth SP - S9 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - A substantial number of patients with preterm labor and delivery do not show clinical signs of infection, however, it is the subclinical form which is the main causative factor and often results in premature delivery. The hitherto commonly applied methods of inflammation detection are based either on potentially hazardous amniocentesis or still insufficient inflammation-related protein measurement in the serum or other biological fluids.
