Abstract:
The incidence of placental histological evidence of amniotic fluid infection syndrome (AFIS) was studied in two groups of patients delivered at term. One group received private medical care during pregnancy, while the other patients were delivered at a midwife obstetric unit. There was no significant difference in histological evidence of AFIS in the private patient (22%) and non-private patient (28%) groups.
