| Research Abstract |
Ureaplasma spp. is detected in the urogenital tract, including the vagina, cervix, chorioamnion, and placenta. Their colonization is associated with histologic chorioamnionitis (CAM). In this study, pathologic examinations of 151 placentas delivered at <32 wk of gestation were performed. Among 151 placentas, 42% (63/151) were culture positive for Ureaplasma spp. Colonization by Ureaplasma spp. was an independent risk factor for CAM (OR, 11.27 ; 95% CI, 5.09 -24.98).
