Abstract
Among the causes of infant mortality, premature birth has been found to rank high. Many of these premature births are brought about by premature rupture of the membranes. On this basis, a study was undertaken to determine the cause of premature rupture.It seemed logical that an infectious process in the cervical canal might extend itself to the membranes overlying the internal os; these membranes, becoming inflamed and friable, might then give way under the duress of a strong Braxton Hicks contraction or other strain.The literature was searched for a similar approach to this problem, but we were unable to find such reports.
