Chorioamnionitis is a pregnancy condition where the tissues and fluid around the fetus (unborn baby) become infected. This typically occurs in labor after the water bag (amniotic sac) is broken, but can occur before this as well. This is a serious condition that requires delivery of the fetus to protect both the mother and the baby.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Treatment is with antibiotics and prompt delivery of the fetus. The newborn will need evaluation by pediatricians and likely further antibiotics.
