Overview
History
History of a patient with chorioamnionitis may include the following:
- Blood type A and 0[1]
- Past medical history
- Immunocompromised state that might be due either to primary immunodeficieny disorders or secondary to another condition[2]
- Secondary diseases or conditions associated with immunocompromised state include:[2]
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
- Medications (corticosteroids, chemotherapeutics, immunomodulators, immunosuppressive agents after solid organ transplantions or for the prevention of graft-versus-ghost disease after bone marrow transplantation)
- Hematologic malignancies
- Diabetes mellitus
- Asplenia
- Protein-losing enteropathy
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Systemic lupus eryhtematosus
- End-stage renal disease
- Cirrhosis
- Secondary diseases or conditions associated with immunocompromised state include:[2]
- Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
- Immunocompromised state that might be due either to primary immunodeficieny disorders or secondary to another condition[2]
- Family history
- Social history
Symptoms
The hallmark of chorioamnionitis is maternal fever. The presence of uterine tenderness, purulent/foul-smelling amniotic fluid, and maternal/fetal tachycardia is suggestive of chorioamnionitis.[3]
- The most important clinical finding among patients with chorioamnionitis is fever, and temperature > 100.4 F should be defined as abnormal during pregnancy.
- Although uterine tenderness is an important clinical finding, it might be challenging to differentiate uterine tenderness from the pain of the labor or conditions such as placental abruption. Also, the patient might not be able to feel the pain due to the effects of analgesics and anesthetic procedures.
- The presence of purulent/foul-smelling amniotic fluid depends on the responsible microorganism and the severity of the chorioamnionitis.
- Maternal tachycardia (>100 per minute) and fetal tachycardia (>160 per minute) are important and common clinical findings of chorioamnionitis.
