Chorioamnionitis most often occurs during labor, affecting as many as 10% of laboring women. When intrapartum chorioamnionitis occurs, women are at peripartal risk for endometritis, cesarean birth, and postpartum hemorrhage; and the neonate is at significant risk for sepsis, pneumonia, respiratory distress, and death.

Ureaplasma Urealyticum Chorioamnionitis
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1994EDITORIAL COMMENT: We accepted this paper for publication to remind readers that Ureaplasma urealyticum, which is a common vaginal commensal, can be associated with and apparently the cause of chorioamnionitis, premature labour, premature rupture of the membranes and intrauterine infection.

Chorioamnionitis and Uterine Function
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000To clarify the relationships between intrapartum chorioamnionitis and abnormalities of uterine function, including labor abnormalities, cesarean delivery, and hemorrhage during parturition.We did a retrospective cohort study on 16,226 deliveries between 1986 and 1996 that were identified from the University of California, San Francisco Perinatal ...

The Pathogenesis of Chorioamnionitis
The Journal of Pediatrics, 2008The pathogenesis of chorioamnionitis must be understood to discover how to diagnose the problem in its earliest stage and how to treat or prevent it. To do so, one must delve into the complexity of inflammation that encompasses not only the cellular aspects, but also the intertwined molecular processes that recruit, activate, modulate, and terminate ...

Chorioamnionitis and Funisitis [PDF]
NeoReviews, 2008 Chorioamnionitis is a common complication of pregnancy, especially in preterm deliveries. This review covers the current understanding of the implications of the maternal and fetal inflammatory response in assessing the risk of neonatal sepsis, complications of prematurity, and risk of adverse neurologic sequelae.

Management of acute chorioamnionitis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1980Acute chorioamnionitis has been recognized as a major threat to both mother and fetus, but there has been little study of its therapy. On this service, the plan of management consists of parenteral, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and prompt action to effect delivery.

Chorioamnionitis: A harbinger of dystocia
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1993The impact of chorioamnionitis on the course of labor is controversial. Some clinicians believe the infection has stimulatory effects, whereas others suspect inhibitory influences. Two hundred sixty-six pregnancies with chorioamnionitis requiring labor stimulation with oxytocin were matched to uninfected women for maternal age, race, parity ...

A Case–Control Study of Chorioamnionic Infection and Histologic Chorioamnionitis in Prematurity
New England Journal of Medicine, 1988To study the role of infection in prematurity, we studied the demographic and obstetrical characteristics, chorioamnionic cultures, and placental histologic features of women who delivered prematurely and compared these findings with those in women who delivered at term.

Cytokine production in chorioamnionitis
Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2000Lymphohematopoietic cytokines play a significant role in many biological mechanisms including a number of reproductive processes such as ovulation, implantation, placentation, cervical dilation and parturition. Recent experiments have suggested that cytokines play a crucial role in the mechanisms of preterm labor and delivery, which are the leading ...

Human Pathology, 2002
Our purpose is to prove that prolonged inflammation of the chorionic plate, which we have termed subacute chorioamnionitis (SCAM), is a distinctive entity and should be differentiated from acute chorioamnionitis (ACAM) because it is an excellent prognostic indicator of chronic lung disease (CLD), including Wilson-Mikity syndrome (WMS). Ninety singleton
