Overview
Objectives: The aim of the presented work is to summarize the current knowledge about the pathophysiology of preterm birth in connection with premature amniotic fluid. Methods: To analyze current knowledge and our own experiences regarding of preterm prelabour rupture of membranes. Conclusion: The most important factor influencing neonatal morbidity and mortality is gestational age. Early neonatal sepsis occurs with high risk after premature amniotic fluid outflow, associated with inflammatory complications.
Keywords:
preterm prelabour rupture of membranes – intraamniotic infections
