Abstract
Mycotic vulvovaginitis (mostly due to Candida) during pregnancy has a reported incidence of 20%-25%. However, obstetric complications caused by this microorganism are rare, the incidence of chorioamnionitis being 0.8%.Intra-amniotic candidal infections can produce abortion, preterm delivery, rupture of membranes, and chorioamnionitis.We present a case of late spontaneous abortion with a histologic diagnosis of fungal chorioamnionitis and review the literature to identify causes, their possible prevention, and treatment.
