Abstract

Epithelium-derived thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), is a key pro-allergic cytokine that has recently been linked to chronic airway diseases. Our aim is to determine cord blood TSLP levels in pregnancies with meconium stained amniotic fluid.A total of 44 pregnant women with meconium stained amniotic fluid and a total of 44 healthy pregnant women were enrolled in the study. Cord blood TSLP was measured with TSLP ELISA Kit.We found no statistically significant differences between 2 groups in terms of age and parity. TSLP levels were found to be significantly higher in the cord blood of pregnant women with meconium stained amniotic fluid (104.3 ± 96.9 ng/ml) compared with the control group (63.2 ± 65.3 ng/ml) (p = 0.022).It seems that TSLP is produced and released in response to meconium.
