Objective: The purpose of this study was to better understand the relationship between placental polymorphonuclear and mononuclear cell infiltrations with bacterial cultures, markers of inflammation, and preterm outcomes.Study design: This was a prospective study in 446 women who were delivered of a singleton infant at < 32 weeks of gestational age. Five placental sites were categorized as having polymorphonuclear or mononuclear infiltrations.Results were compared with placental and cord cultures, umbilical cord interleukin-6 levels, and neonatal outcomes. Results: Polymorphonuclear, but not mononuclear, cell infiltrations were more common at the earliest gestational ages and in black women (56.0% vs 39.3%; P < .01). Polymorphonuclear infiltration was associated with spontaneous preterm birth (73.9% vs 8.0%; P < .0001), but not with preeclampsia (9.9% vs 34%; P < .0001). Women with positive cultures, high interleukin-6 levels, and clinical chorioamnionitis all had significantly more polymorphonuclear infiltrations than did women without those conditions (all probability values,
