Congenital heart block: successful prophylactic treatment with intravenous gamma globulin and corticosteroid therapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Most early preterm births are associated with intraamniotic infection and inflammation, which can lead to systemic inflammation in the fetus. The fetal inflammatory response syndrome describes elevations in the fetal interleukin-6 level, which is a marker for inflammation and fetal organ injury. An understan...
