ABSTRACT

Chorioamnionitis generates significant neonatal mortality and morbidity. Its incidence in premature birth can reach 30% and up to 30-40% of cases of premature rupture of membranes is due to this entity. We describe a case of chorioamnionitis by a commensal of the oral flora (Eikenella corrodens) in a pregnant woman with premature rupture of membranes and preterm delivery, which caused conjunctivitis in the newborn. On occasion of this case, we review the issue, delving into the diagnosis and clinical significance of this pathogen.
