Objective: To investigate the levels of secretory leukocyteprotease inhibitor (SLPI) in women with preterm labor andpregnancy.

SLPIlevel examination used ELISA method. The obtained dataprocessed by SPSS software version 20.0 and discussed withexisting literature theory.
Results: Mean plasma SLPI level in patients with preterm laboris 30.319 ng/ml and median: 29.950 ng/ml with p value: 0.652,while the mean on preterm pregnancy is 45.975 ng/ml andmedian: 41.600 ng/ml with p value: 0.005.
Conclusion: There are significant differences of SLPI level betweenpreterm labor and preterm pregnancy.
