Abstract

 

SAMMENDRAG

Infeksjon i det intrauterine miljø kan være en viktig årsak til premature rier. Intrauterine infeksjoner

underdiagnostiseres med dagens metoder. Ny kunnskap om molekylære mekanismer gir nye diagnostiske

muligheter og kan åpne for alternative behandlingsformer.

Infection and premature birth.

ENGLISH SUMMARY

Prematurity is the cause of a substantial proportion of perinatal morbidity and mortality. It has become

clear that intrauterine infection is an important underlying cause of premature labour. Unfortunately, our

ability to diagnose these infections at an early stage is not well developed, and the effectiveness of available

therapeutic agents is low. Premature labour caused by infection involves the activation of a network

of inflammatory cytokines and the production of intrauterine prostaglandins. In this paper, we have

attempted to describe recent developments in this area that are relevant to prematurity, and we also discuss

whether this knowledge may provide possibilities for therapeutic intervention.
