Overview
Chorioamnionitis can be classified based on the presentation of the patient.
Classification
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.[1][2]
- Subclinical/histologic chorioamnionitis indicates the inflammation of the chorion, amnion, and placenta in the absence of clinical signs.
- Diagnosis of histologic chorioamnionitis is mainly based on the evaluation of pathology which might be confirmed by the presence of inflammatory cells within the fetal membranes.
- The presence of maternal fever, leukocytosis, maternal/fetal tachycardia, uterine tenderness, foul-smelling amniotic fluid, and preterm rupture of membranes (PROM) indicates the clinical chorioamnionitis.
