Abstract
Prospective study in PGIMER, CHD showing relationship between chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis in preterm premature rupture of membranes. Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) is an important cause of premature delivery. pPROM is strongly associated with maternal infectious morbidity like chorioamnionitis, endometritis and bacteraemia. Giving antibiotics to patients with preterm pPROM can reduce neonatal infections and prolong the latent period. Giving antibiotics to patients with preterm pPROM can reduce neonatal infections and prolong the latent period.
