PROBLEM: This study was conducted to determine whether: (1) gestational age, parturition, and microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) are associated with changes in amniotic fluid concentrations of immunoreactive macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha; (2) amniotic fluid concentrations of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha are correlated with the white blood cell count and the concentrations of interleukin-8 in amniotic fluid.METHOD: Amniotic fluid was retrieved by amniocentesis from 126 patients; 54 women with preterm labor and intact membranes (no MIAC-delivery at term, N = 21; no MIAC-preterm delivery, N = 16; MIAC-preterm delivery, N = 17); 62 patients at term (no labor, N = 19; labor-no MIAC, N = 20; labor-MIAC, N = 23); and 10 patients in the midtrimester of pregnancy. Amniotic fluid was cultured for aerobic, anaerobic and Mycoplasma species. Determinations of amniotic fluid macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha and interleukin-8 were performed with immunoassays validated for amniotic fluid (sensitivity: 14.2 pg/ml and 0.3 ng/ml, respectively). Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance (ANOVA) for censored data, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's rank correlation were performed for analysis.RESULTS: 1) Amniotic fluid macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha was present in only 31.0% (9/29) of patients not in labor (midtrimester and term). 2) Patients with preterm labor and MIAC had higher amniotic fluid concentrations of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha than those without MIAC (no MIAC-delivery at term: median 0.0 pg/ml, range 0.0-221.2; no MIAC-preterm delivery: median 37.4 pg/ml, range 0.0-494.6; MIAC-preterm delivery: median 7171.0 pg/ml, range 402.5-37994.0; P
