Article Synopsis
- The study focused on women in Botucatu, Brazil, to investigate the levels of human β-defensins (hBD) during Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
- Cervicovaginal samples were analyzed for infections and local microbiota, revealing that women infected with C. trachomatis had significantly lower levels of hBD-1, hBD-2, and hBD-3 compared to those who were not infected.
- The findings suggest that a lower concentration of these defensins may be associated with the presence of C. trachomatis infection.

Objective: To quantify the expression of IL-18 mRNA and protein in the chorioamniotic membranes of pregnant women with PPROM and correlate expression with histological chorioamnionitis.
Study Design: A case control study that included 42 pregnant women not in labor in the following groups: PPROM (n=28) and controls with intact membranes submitted to selective cesarean section at term (n=14). Expression of IL-18 mRNA in chorioamniotic membranes was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and IL-18 protein expression was measured by western blot.
