Abstract
Controversy reigns over the role of Ureaplasma urealyticum in determin ing pregnancy outcome. U. urealyticum infection of the chorioamnion is strongly associated with chorioamnionitis (1-3), premature birth (2-4 ), and perinatal morbidity (4-6). We present 4 cases of U. urealyticum chorioamnionitis and associated morbidity and mortality.
