[Influence of amnioscopy on the development of fetal infection].
Bacteriologycal examinations of vaginal swabs from the cervix obtained during 45 amnioscopies, demonstrated a rise in culture positivity after the 2-nd and 3-rd amnioscopies. Bacteriologycal examinations in the same women on the 2-nd and 3-rd days of puerperium demonstrated a change of bacterial flora with appearance of more virulent flora. The problem of possible "ascending" infections or hospital infections is discussed.
