Episode description
In 2017, the ACOG defined 3 classes of intraamniotic infection. Although most research/data has been on inflammation/infection of the placenta/membranes itself (chorioamnionitis), only recently has data on inflammation of the umbilical cord (funisitis) been forthcoming. Is inflammation of the umbilical cord directly related to microbial invasion? Does this have any neonatal implications? In this podcast we will review the pathological basis and clinical implications of funisitis.
