What is Chorioamnionitis: Intra-Amniotic Infection Insights about?

Intra-amniotic infection, or chorioamnionitis, is a common complication in labor caused by ascending bacterial infection into the amniotic fluid. It can lead to neonatal pneumonia, sepsis, and other poor neonatal outcomes unless treated promptly with appropriate antibiotics administered to the mother. Risk factors include preterm labor, membrane rupture, and vaginal examinations in the presence of ruptured membranes. Symptoms may include maternal fever, increased heart rate, and foul-smelling amniotic fluid
