Abstract

Previous studies have suggested the possibility of diagnosing post-maturity by the demonstration of C-reactive protein (CRP) in amniotic fluid by latex agglutination tests. In our study we found that 72 of 75 samples of amniotic fluid obtained from mothers at varying times of gestation gave a positive latex agglutination reaction. The latex agglutination test, therefore, appears to be of no value for the diagnosis of post-maturity.
