Acute histologic chorioamnionitis at term: nearly always noninfectious. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The link between histologic acute chorioamnionitis and infection is well established in preterm deliveries, but less well-studied in term pregnancies, where infection is much less common.We conducted a secondary analysis among 195 low-risk women with ...

The anti-inflammatory role of placental Hofbauer cells is altered in patients with chorioamnionitis: Are CYP2C8 and soluble epoxide hydrolase involved in immunomodulation?

open access: yesBiomedical Papers, 2022
Aims. Hofbauer cells (HBCs) are placental macrophages playing various roles during normal and complicated pregnancies, and of the latter, chorioamnionitis is the most frequent. Methods.

Amnioinfusion for chorioamnionitis [PDF]

open access: yesCochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015
Chorioamnionitis is a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Amnioinfusion aims at reducing the adverse effects of chorioamnionitis by dilution of the infective organisms or by an anti-microbial effect of the fluid infused.The objective of this review was to determine the effect of amnioinfusion on clinical and sub-clinical ...

Understanding Host-Pathogen Interactions in Acute Chorioamnionitis Through the Use of Animal Models

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Inflammation of the chorion and/or amnion during pregnancy is called chorioamnionitis. Acute chorioamnionitis is implicated in approximately 40% of preterm births and has wide-ranging implications for the mother, fetus, and newborn.
