Chorioamnionitis and Funisitis

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.

Funisitis Associated with Leptospiral Abortion in an Equine Placenta [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2005

The antenatal identification of funisitis with a rapid MMP-8 bedside test [PDF]

Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2008
The purpose of this study was to determine if a bedside test, the MMP-8 PTD Check, can be of value in the antenatal identification of funisitis. This test can be performed in 15 min without any laboratory equipment.The relationship between the presence or absence of funisitis and the results of an MMP-8 PTD Check was examined in 139 patients who ...

Increased numbers of macrophages in tracheal aspirates in premature infants with funisitis

Pediatrics International, 2008
AbstractBackground: Funisitis is a manifestation of the fetal inflammatory response syndrome, and intrauterine inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of lung injury in premature infants. The aim of the present paper was to examine the relationship between funisitis and lung injury in premature infants born at <28 weeks gestation.

Prenatal diagnosis of funisitis: two case reports

Journal of Medical Ultrasonics, 2018
Acute funisitis is characterized by the infiltration of fetal neutrophils from the umbilical vessels into Wharton's jelly and presents as fetal inflammation. However, no reports about its prenatal diagnosis using ultrasonography have been published. We encountered one case of oligohydramnios at 26 weeks and another case of threatened premature delivery

Postnatal changes of cytokines in premature infants with or without funisitis

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2013
Fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS), which induces hypercytokinemia, is important for the outcomes of premature infants. It is necessary to focus on the fetal inflammatory environments.A total of 37 premature infants (gestational age ≤32 weeks) were divided into three groups: (1) 15 without chorioamnionitis (CAM) and funisitis; C(-)F(-) group, (

Dermatophilus congolensis-Associated Placentitis, Funisitis and Abortion in a Horse

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2008
Placentitis, funisitis and fetal bronchopneumonia were diagnosed in an aborted full-term Thoroughbred fetus and its placenta by histopathological examination. Dermatophilus congolensis organisms were isolated from placenta, lung and stomach content. The genotypic identification of aerobic culture was confirmed by sequential analysis of the entire 16S ...

Candida Funisitis: A Clinicopathologic Study of 32 Cases

Pediatric and Developmental Pathology, 1998
We report on 32 cases of Candida funisitis and describe the associated clinicopathologic features. The Candida funisitis was characterized grossly by small, circumscribed, yellow-white nodules on the umbilical cord surface and, microscopically, by subamnionic microabscesses in which fungal organisms were demonstrable.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Histological Chorioamnionitis and Funisitis in Neonatal Sepsis

Journal of Neonatology, 2023
Background Histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) is present not only in women with clinical chorioamnionitis (CCA) but also in a large subset with silent chorioamnionitis which has a risk of developing complications of preterm labor, fetal, and maternal infection.

Association between funisitis and elevated interleukin-6 in cord blood

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2001
[corrected] To determine whether elevated plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) in umbilical venous cord blood at delivery is associated with funisitis and whether IL-6 can be used to screen for funisitis in preterm neonates.At the time of delivery, umbilical venous cord blood samples were collected from 92 infants for whom placental pathology results were also ...
