Candida chorioamnionitis diagnosed by amniocentesis with subsequent fetal infection.

Bruner JP, Elliott JP, Kilbride HW, Garite TJ, Knox GE.

Abstract
Isolation of Candida albicans from the vaginal secretions of pregnant women occurs with an incidence of 5-23%. Intrauterine infection caused by Candida during pregnancy is relatively rare; only 81 cases, all diagnosed after delivery, have been reported. We report six cases of candidal chorioamnionitis diagnosed by amniocentesis and confirmed by histologic studies, associated with preterm labor and delivery of five viable infants. Three of the six maternal patients had intrauterine contraceptive devices in situ. Three infants had a diagnosis of congenital cutaneous candidiasis and two had congenital systemic candidiasis, one with monilial pneumonia, and one with meningitis and septicemia. All viable neonates were treated successfully. The sixth, a very immature infant, died soon after delivery. Torulopsis (Candida) glabrata was isolated from this amniotic fluid. C. Albicans is a pathogen that potentially may cause chorioamnionitis and has been associated with high mortality (94%) in infants weighing less than 1500 gm. Use of amniocentesis in patients with preterm labor may allow early detection of subclinical candidal chorioamnionitis, thus guiding appropriate perinatal management.

Abstract
Although cervicovaginal Candida infections occur in 20-25% of pregnancies, the incidence of ascending infection in these cases is only 0.8%, and such infection rarely causes chorioamnionitis. Sudden intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) of twin A occurred in a diabetic primigravida presenting with a twin pregnancy and preterm labour at 33 weeks of gestation. Placental pathology and autopsy of the stillborn twin revealed extensive chorioamnionitis and fetal sepsis in the presence of Candida albicans. Twin B was unaffected. In this case, C albicans chorioamnionitis seemed to be associated with sudden IUFD. (J Reprod Med 2000;45:354-356) Chorioamnionitis is likely to be caused by ascending vaginal infection with microorganisms such as Trichomonas vaginalis, Bacteroides spp, Ureaplasma urealyticum and others. Occurring preterm, it often is associated with labour and subsequent preterm birth, the latter known to be major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Although isolated cases of Candida chorioamnionitis have been reported, serious systemic Candida infections are uncommon. We report a case of a woman presenting with a twin pregnancy, preterm labour and sudden intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) of twin A. Autopsy revealed extensive Candida albicans chorioamnionitis and fetal sepsis of the stillborn.
