Perinatal mortality associated with intrauterine infection due to pseudomonads.
Pseudomonads are common causes of nosocomial infections but are rarely implicated in perinatal disease. In a retrospective autopsy study we found that 9% of all acute congenital bacterial infections were due to Pseudomonas species. Premature rupture of membranes occurred in half the cases and clinical maternal amnionitis in two-thirds. One case was apparently nosocomial in origin. No known risk factors were implicated in any other case. Seven infants were stillborn and two died within a few hours. Congenital pneumonia, funisitis, and chorioamnionitis were found at autopsy. Intrauterine infection due to the pseudomonads poses a serious problem that has not been previously recognized.
