Characteristics of Cord Blood Immunologic Parameters of Infants <32 Weeks Gestation

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Premature Birth, Sepsis

In brief

Infants in the NICU are at high risk for morbidity and mortality from infections of any onset. Diagnosis of these infections is imperfect at best. Patterns of inflammatory and regulatory proteins (cytokines \& chemokines, in addition to antigen detection on antibody secreting cells (ASC's)may provide a more accurate and rapid approach to diagnosis of infections in these high-risk patients.
