chorioamnionitis/diarrhea

We report our experience in a woman with a twin pregnancy. The patient suffered severe Escherichia coli chorioamnionitis and the outcomes were different between the two babies after birth. The first baby had only a mild infection, but the second suffered sepsis and subsequent perinatal death. These

Clinical efficacy of cefodizime (CDZM) in obstetric and gynecologic infections and in their prevention, and fluctuations in cervical mucus elastase in gynecologic infections and during pregnancy were studied, and the following results were obtained: 1. Cervical mucus elastase showed high values of >

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to compare the efficacy and side effects of a high-dose vaginal misoprostol regimen to concentrated intravenous oxytocin plus low-dose vaginal misoprostol for midtrimester labor induction. METHODS Women at 14 to 24 weeks, with obstetric or fetal indications for

In an open study, ticarcillin/clavulanate was used to treat upper genital tract infections in 91 women. The clinical success rate was 92% in outpatient-acquired salpingitis (pelvic inflammatory disease), 50% in salpingitis with tuboovarian abscess, 85% in postpartum endometritis, 87% in endometritis

The ideal pharmaceutical treatment for pelvic infections in women should provide good antibacterial coverage, have proven efficacy and be associated with a good outcome in terms of fertility and organ preservation. In an open study, ticarcillin disodium/clavulanate potassium was used to treat upper

Because of the high incidence of beta-lactamase production among bacteria that are found commonly in pelvic infections in women, beta-lactamase-inhibiting antibiotics should prove effective in treating those infections. In a randomized, comparative study of 47 women with intraabdominal infections,

BACKGROUND The association of chorioamnionitis with preterm birth is well established. Intra-amniotic infection complicates 13-60% of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) with enteric gram-negative pathogens accounting for 20-40% of recoverable organisms. However, the source of enteric

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy, side effects, and complications of high-dose vaginal misoprostol with concentrated intravenous oxytocin plus low-dose vaginal prostaglandin (PGE(2)) for second-trimester labor induction. METHODS One hundred twenty-six consenting women with maternal or fetal

Twenty patients with severe postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony who were unresponsive to conventional therapy were treated with 0.25-mg intramuscular injections of (15-S)-15-methyl prostaglandin F2 alpha-tromethamine. A rapid and successful response was obtained in 18 patients. Two patients

Objectives: Although nontyphoidal Salmonella infections have a prevalence of 0.2-1.8%. It is mostly described in veterinary medicine; it could be responsible for severe intra-amniotic infections in humans. The objective of this review is to describe the clinical and microbiological

Prenatal inflammation is a major risk for preterm birth and neonatal morbidity, but its effects on postnatal immunity and organ functions remain unclear. Using preterm pigs as a model for preterm infants, we investigated whether prenatal intra-amniotic (IA) inflammation modulates postnatal systemic
