Case of chorioamnionitis in an immunocompetent woman caused by Morganella morganii.
Morganella morganii is an opportunistic organism that leads to serious morbidity. It is an enteric organism commonly associated with immunocompromise and chronic urinary catheterization. We present a case of a healthy gravid individual who presented with chorioamnionitis and neonatal seizures associated with M. morganii. This organism, which causes severe morbidity, is fortunately rare in obstetrics and gynecology.
