History and Symptoms

Chorioamnionitis

The diagnosis of chorioamnionitis usually is made clinically on the basis of signs and symptoms such as fever (which might be low-grade), uterine tenderness, fetal tachycardia, maternal tachycardia, and foul-smelling or purulent amniotic fluid. In an effort to avert neonatal infections, maternal fever alone in labor may be used as a sign of chorioamnionitis.
