Chorioamnionitis can be classified based on the clinical features and laboratory findings.
 
==Overview==
Chorioamnionitis may be classified into several subtypes based on the presentation of the patient, the type of infiltrating cells, [[anatomical]] regions infiltrated by [[neutrophils]] (stage), and the intensity of [[inflammation]] (grade).

Overview

Chorioamnionitis may be classified into several subtypes based on the presentation of the patient, the type of infiltrating cells, anatomical regions infiltrated by neutrophils (stage), and the intensity of inflammation (grade).

Classification

Chorioamnionitis may be classified into several subtypes based on the presentation of the patient, the type of infiltrating cells, anatomical regions infiltrated by neutrophils (stage), and the intensity of inflammation (grade).[1]

  • Chorioamnionitis may be classified according to the absence or presence of clinical signs and laboratory findings into two groups: clinical chorioamnionitis, and subclinical/histologic chorioamnionitis.[2][3]
  • Chorioamnionitis may be classified into acute and chronic forms, depending on the type of infiltrating cells.[4]
    • Acute and chronic chorioamnionitis indicate the infiltration of the fetal membranes by PMNs and monocytes, respectively.
  • The staging of chorioamnionitis is based on the anatomical regions infiltrated by neutrophils.[1]
    • Stage 1 represents the infiltration of chorion or subchorionic space by neutrophils.
    • Stage 2 represents the infiltration of chorionic connective tissue and/or amnion or the chorionic plate by neutrophils.
    • Stage 3 represents the necrotizing chorioamnionitis, indicates the edema and necrosis of the amniotic epithelium.
  • The grading of chorioamnionitis is based on the intensity of inflammation.[1]
    • Grade 1, mild to moderate inflammation, represent the infiltration of fetal membranes by small clusters of maternal neutrophils.
    • Grade 2, severe inflammation, represents the presence of at least 3 chorionic microabscesses (cluster of neutrophils measuring ≥ 10 x 20 cells) or the presence of neutrophils of ≥ 10 cells in width that involve at least half of the subchorionic fibrin or one cycle around the membrane roll.
  • The staging system might be more effective to establish the severity of inflammation than the grading system.[1]
