[Cerclage and infection. Clinical and therapeutic study (author's transl)].
The authors compared the evolution of the pregnancy, of the labour and of the post-partum period in 75 patients who had cerclage for cervico-isthmial incompetence and in 68 mothers who had no pathology in the cervix (the control group). A state of infection developed more often in the mother and in the fetus and/or the newborn in the group that had cerclage than in the control group. The perinatal death of 7 infants in the group that had cerclage, of which 5 were due to infection, is to be deplored. The only perinatal death in the control group was due to an infection.
