Abstract

In order to determine the reliability of amniocentesis (ACT) and its influ ence on intraamniotic infection (IAI) development, we performed a study of sixty complete microbiological examinations of amniotic fluid specimens obtained by serial ACT. In one case during the second procedure, E. coli was discovered and in the other, during the third ACT, Candida albicans was presented. Neither spontaneus abortion nor preterm labour were provoked by the procedure. We can conclude that ACT has been confirmed as a safe and successful intrauterine intervention if it is made in the proper way. (Thai J Obstet Gynaecol 1991; 3:53-56.)
