Even though mortality among preterm infants has decreased, their risk for chronic complications such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and neurological disability remains significant. One common risk factor for these is exposure to inflammation. The fetus may be exposed prenatally during maternal chorioamnionitis. Pre-eclampsia is also associated with low-grade maternal inflammation. Postnatally, local and systemic inflammation is present during respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Furthermore, septic infections in the preterm infant are an important source of inflammatory stimuli and can lead to death in only a few hours. The diagnosis of septic infection is difficult, since reliable diagnostic markers are unavailable. This thesis eval...
