Understanding Chorioamnionitis

Chorioamnionitis, an infection occurring when a mother’s water breaks before delivery, poses serious risks to both mother and baby. Prompt medical attention is crucial to prevent complications such as maternal sepsis and neonatal infections. Symptoms include maternal fever, rapid heart rate, and foul-smelling amniotic fluid. Treatment involves antibiotics and, if necessary, induction of labor to remove the source of infection. Preventive measures include screening for Group B Streptococcus colonization and avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures during pregnancy.
