Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1] ; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Adnan Ezici, M.D[2] Chorioamnionitis can be classified based on the clinical features and laboratory findings.
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]
- Subclinical/histologic chorioamnionitis indicates the inflammation of the chorion, amnion, and placenta in the absence of clinical signs.
- The presence of maternal fever, leukocytosis, maternal/fetal tachycardia, uterine tenderness, and preterm rupture of membranes (PROM) indicates the clinical chorioamnionitis.
