Figure 3.
Amniotic fluid (AF) concentration of HBD-2 in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) with and without microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC). The median AF concentration of HBD-2 was significantly higher in women with preterm PROM and MIAC than in those with preterm PROM without MIAC [median 5.8 ng/mL (range 0.5–66.7) vs. median 3.4 ng/mL (range 1–19.6), respectively; p=0.02].
