Abstract: The fetal inlfammatory response syndrome (FIRS) is a subclinical condition characterized by systemic acti-vation of the fetal innate immune system with a large number of pro-inlfammatory cytokines released. FIRS is the fetal coun-terpart of the systemic inlfammatory response syndrome (SIRS) described in adults. Intrauterine infection is the most common reason of FIRS. FIRS has been implicated as a cause of preterm labor, preterm white matter injury, bronchopulmonary dyspla-sia (BPD) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
