Abstract

AimTo determine whether procalcitonin (ProCT) levels can be used to predict subclinical intra-amniotic infection by comparing maternal plasma levels in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and premature rupture of membranes (PROM) at term with the levels in healthy pregnant women.
