title: [Infection in pregnancy as a causal factor in premature membrane rupture and preterm labor].
abstract: This article discusses recent evidence pointing to an infectious etiology of premature rupture of the membranes and preterm labor. We conclude that antepartum infection is strongly related to preterm labor, premature rupture of the membranes and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
