[Premature rupture of fetal membranes in the midtrimester (II): Antibiotic treatment in a case of intraamniotic infection prior to fetal viability].
A case of a 33 year old woman G7P6A1, with preterm premature rupture of membranes at 20 weeks of gestation and asymptomatic intramniotic infection is reported. At admission, the presence of Klebsiella oxytoca in amniotic fluid was demonstrated by amniocentesis. Parenteral antibiotics were administered with a following demonstration of aseptic fluid. The patient delivered at 29 1/2 weeks of pregnancy. A newborn weighing 1520 with an Apgar score of 8-8 was obtained. The mother had a normal puerperal period without any evidence of infectious morbidity. A clinical sepsis was demonstrated in the newborn with appropriate response to antibiotic therapy. No further complications were observed.
