2022, Journal of Reproductive ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :In women with clinical chorioamnionitis (Romero et al., 2015b) or histological chorioamnionitis (Park et al., 2017), the prevalence of a positive amniotic fluid culture is 46 % and 53 %, respectively. Overall, based on cultivation results, MIAC occurs in approximately 25 % of women who deliver preterm (Bobitt and Ledger, 1978; Miller et al., 1980; Bobitt et al., 1981; Wallace and Herrick, 1981; Hameed et al., 1984; Wahbeh et al., 1984; Gravett et al., 1986; Leigh and Garite, 1986; Romero et al., 1988a, b; Romero et al., 1988c, d; Romero et al., 1989; Skoll et al., 1989; Romero et al., 1990a, b; Gauthier et al., 1991; Romero et al., 1991; Coultrip and Grossman, 1992; Watts et al., 1992; Andrews et al., 1995; Yoon et al., 1996; Elimian et al., 1998; Gomez et al., 1998; Hussey et al., 1998; Oyarzun et al., 1998; Rizzo et al., 1998; Yoon et al., 1998; Gonzalez-Bosquet et al., 1999; Locksmith et al., 1999; Ovalle et al., 2000; Yoon et al., 2000, 2001; Jacobsson et al., 2003; Romero and Lockwood, 2009). However, given the challenges of identifying MIAC through culture (DiGiulio et al., 2008; Han et al., 2009), this may be an underestimation.
