Abstract
- <bold>Aim: </bold>To compare pathological findings in the placenta and cord with the prognosis of full-term infants in cases of neonatal infection and microbial analyses.<bold>Methods: </bold>The pathological findings in the placenta and cord and microbial analyses of amniotic fluid and neonatal samples based on culture or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were observed in 1208 full-term mother-infant pairs at our center. We also collected neonatal clinical infection data, such as the occurrence of septicemia and other infectious diseases.<bold>Results: </bold>Neonatal infection and positive identification of microorganisms were more common in the funisitis and/or chorionic vasculitis group than in the histologic chorioamnionitis group.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>Funisitis and/or chorionic vasculitis is a valuable pathological marker for assessing the comparison between intrauterine infection and neonatal inflammatory conditions in infants delivered at full-term.
