What infection causes chorioamnionitis?
"Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the membranes (placental tissues) and amniotic fluid. It occurs in about 1 to 2 percent of all pregnancies, but is much more common in preterm births. Chorioamnionitis can cause bacteremia (blood infection) in the mother and may lead to preterm birth and serious infection in the newborn baby. Other terms for chorioamnionitis include intra-amniotic infection and amnionitis. The organisms usually responsible for chorioamnionitis are those that are normally present in the vagina, including Escherichia coli (E. coli). Group B streptococcus may also cause the infection. Chorioamnionitis can develop when the membranes (amniotic sac) are ruptured (broken) for an extended period. This allows the vaginal organisms to move upward into the uterus."

Can chorioamnionitis cause death?
Yes it does cause death. That is what happened to my daughter 6 1/2 years ago due to the prolonged fact that the doctors kept misdiagnosing me for the wrong things, I never received an amniocentesis to see what the problem was, and I finally received her death certificate after 6 1/2 years. So therefore, it does cause death and I will sue the hell ot of Bayhealth Medical Center and OBGYN Associates in Dover, Delaware.
