Deskripsi

Median neopterin concentration in amniotic fluid at delivery was 72 nM which is approximately 10-fold the maternal and fetal serum concentration. A strong correlation existed between neopterin concentrations in amniotic fluid and urine, except an unproportionally high level in amniotic fluid in one case with an intrauterine infection.
