Presentation
RESULTS: Funisitis was present in 4% (30/832) of cases. A positive AF culture was more common in cases with funisitis than in those without funisitis (17% vs. 5%; p 0.05). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Dental Abscess
The mother gave a history of a dental abscess that flared up and drained with each of her three pregnancies; the pain was particularly severe during the last 2 months of this pregnancy, so she had the tooth removed after delivery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Mycoplasma Hominis
Abstract Ureaplasma urealyticum (U. urealyticum) and Mycoplasma hominis (M. hominis) are known to cause an intrauterine infection for preterm deliveries, but it is not known whether they are actually pathogenically involved in the development of funisitis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

I have purchased several over-the-counter treatments, including Monistat cream to subside the symptoms. While it worked initially, eventually things wore off and left me with an even worse infection than before. [es.slideshare.net]
Prognosis
AIM: To compare pathological findings in the placenta and cord with the prognosis of full-term infants in cases of neonatal infection and microbial analyses. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prematurity and birth defects are confounding factors that must be considered when a prognosis is offered to parents or caregivers of an infected newborn. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
We conclude that (1) NF has a polymicrobial etiology, (2) in the absence of other placental findings associated with syphilis NF should not be considered presumptive of this disease, and (3) factors leading to NF may also contribute to acute chorioamnionitis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology of preterm labor is usually can not be determined, which few concepts of the etiology usually correlated with infection of amniotic fluid, uteroplacental ischemia, overdistended uterus, endocrine disorder and abnormal immune response from [biomedpharmajournal.org]
