Overview

Clinical findings associated with chorioamnionitis include maternal fever, uterine tenderness, purulent/foul-smelling amniotic fluid, maternal/fetal tachycardia. Common fetal complications of chorioamnionitis include preterm birth, neonatal sepsis, neurologic complications, respiratory complications. Common maternal complications of chorioamnionitis include maternal sepsis, infections, and labor-related complications (e.g., cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, etc.)

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

The symptoms of chorioamnionitis usually develop during the pregnancy, and start with symptoms such as maternal fever, uterine tenderness, purulent/foul-smelling amniotic fluid, maternal/fetal tachycardia.[1]

Complications

Fetal complications that can develop as a result of chorioamnionitis are:[2][3]

Maternal complications that can develop as a result of chorioamnionitis are:[3][1]

Prognosis

The presence of cesarean delivery for dystocia, prolonged labor times (≥ 10 h), or administration of oxytocin during labor are associated with a particularly poor prognosis among infants exposed to chorioamnionitis.[4]
