Moreover, the HCV-RNA+ve mothers presented a significant increase in Th1 cytokines at 3-6 months post-partum (ΔINFγ = INFγ-INFγ = 9.1±2.5ρg/mL, P = 0.03; ΔIL12 = IL12-IL12 = 0.85±0.30ρg/mL, P = 0.01 and ΔIL2 = IL2-IL2 = 5.4±2.89ρg/mL, P = 0.07) whereas in the HCV-RNA-ve mothers the cytokine values in the peripheral blood remained unchanged (however this does not mean that such differences do not exist in the placenta, decidua and umbilical cord).
