ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted on 25 cases of preterm, premature rupture of membranes and 25 patients preterm with intact membranes, between 28-36 weeks of gestation, admitted in the maternity ward of Obstetrics and Gynecology, PGIMS, Rohtak. The sensitivity and specificity of CRP determination was found to be 80% each as an early predictor of subclinical chorioamnionitis. TLC had a low sensitivity of 20% and specificity of 60% in detecting histopathological chorioamnionitis. So CRP estimation is a reliable marker for detection of early choriamnionitis, at the same time, it is quite affordable and reasonably simple.
