| الملخص: | <p>Chorioamnionitis is an acute inflammation of the membranes and chorion of the placenta typically due to ascending polymicrobial infection in the setting of membrane rupture. It is a common complication of pregnancy associated with significant maternal, perinatal, and long-term adverse outcomes. We present a case of placental infection leading to preterm delivery, severe neonatal sepsis, maternal wound infection, postnatal readmission, and prolonged hospital stay. This virulent infection was caused by multidrug–resistant extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing <em>Escherichia Coli</em> (<em>E. Coli</em>), which represent a major worldwide threat according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was managed with appropriate antibiotic therapy, patient-centered approach, and multidisciplinary team involvement that led to favourable maternal and neonatal outcome. </p> <h2>Other Information</h2> <p>Published in: Clinical Case Reports<br> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br> See article on publisher's website: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ccr3.5078" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ccr3.5078</a></p> |
