Abstract
The inflammatory response associated with extreme preterm birth plays a relevant role in the prognosis of the newborn. The immaturity of the immune system fails to modulate the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, triggering secondary damage with short, medium and long term sequelae. Objective: to review the immunological mechanisms involved in the sustained perinatal inflammatory syndrome, presenting possible prevention and treatment targets.
