[Evaluation of the correlation between IL-1β, IL-8, IFN-γ cytokine concentration in cervico-vaginal fluid and the risk of preterm delivery].

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate IL-1β, II-8, IFN-γ cytokine concentrations in cervico-vaginal fluid in patients with threatening preterm delivery.

Material And Methods: The study group included 84 patients between 27 and 34 weeks of pregnancy admitted with symptoms of threatened preterm delivery. The cervico-vaginal fluid was taken from each patient qualified for the study and IL-1β, II-8, IFN-γ concentration was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
