To examine the relationship between amniotic fluid (AF) white blood cell (WBC) count and the presence and severity of infl ammatory lesions of the placenta in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Methods This retrospective cohort study included 90 consecutive women with PPROM (24.0-35.6 weeks) who met the following criteria: singleton gestation; transabdominal amniocentesis performed to obtain AF for culture and WBC count; delivery within 72 hours of amniocentesis; placental histologic examination after preterm delivery. Results The prevalence of histologic chorioamnionitis was 32 % (29/90) and that of positive amniotic fluid culture was 21 % (19/90). Patients with histologic chorioamnionitis had a signifi cantly highe...
