ABSTRACT
This study included 80 pregnant women with preterm-PROM and their newborns. Maternal serum was obtained at time of admission and delivery for measuring total leucocytic count [TLC], C-reactive protein [CRP] and IL-6. Chorioamnionitis was diagnosed clinically and histologically. Umbilical cord blood at time of delivery was obtained for measurement of IL-6. The clinical outcome of neonates was followed up and documented. IL-6 [maternal and umbilical cord blood] seemed to be a promising predictor for early onset chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis
