[Spontaneous abortion with an IUD and Candida chorioamnionitis].
Interruption and expulsion of a stillborn fetus in patients with an IUD Candida albicans chorioamniotic infection is a very rare obstetrical event. Generally, the diagnosis is established in retrospect by the routine histological examination of the products of expulsion and the demonstration of a specific chorioamniotic infection. This infection occurs by upward dissemination in a pregnancy where the amniotic membrane is unbroken, with the IUD being the facilitating factor of infection. Prevention appears to be the withdrawal of an IUD at the beginning of pregnancy.
