Chorioamnionitis OB-GYN 101 Facts Card ©2003 Brookside Press
Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the placenta and fetal membranes.
Organisms responsible for this infection include Strep, coliforms, and anaerobes. Polymicrobial infection is common.
In its' earliest stage, there may be no symptoms or clinical signs. As it advances, clinical evidence of infection may appear, including:
• Maternal temp > 100.4.
• ↑WBC
• Fetal tachycardia
• Foul-smelling amniotic fluid
• Uterine tenderness
Chorioamnionitis may be a problem for both the mother and the fetus:
• Serious maternal infections.
• The fetus may suffer not just from infection, but also from elevated core temperature of the mother.
• Increased core temperatures lead to an increased metabolic rate of the fetal enzyme systems, which in turn need more oxygen than normal. At timesthis leads to progressively hypoxia and acidotis.
Chorioamnionitis during labor is treated very aggressively, with broad-spectrum antibiotics such as:
• Ampicillin 2 gm IV Q 6 hours, plus gentamicin 1.5 mg/kg (loading dose) and 1.0 mg/kg Q 8 hours
• Ampicillin/sulbactam 3 gm IV Q 4-6 hours
• Mezlocillin 4 g IV Q 4-6 hours
• Piperacillin 3-4 g IV Q 4 hours
• Ticarcillin/clavulanic acid 3.1 gm IV Q 6 hours
Maternal temp Rx’d with PO or PR acetaminophen, 1 gm Q 4 hours.
Plans are made for prompt delivery. Vaginal delivery is usually possible.
