Show Notes
Podcast Family, in our immediate past episode we tackled the discrepancy that is often found between a clinical diagnosis of intra-amniotic infection/chorioamnionitis and histological chorioamnionitis. From that episode, we received a fantastic question from one of our podcast family members (PFM): Can a patient have IAI without fever? That question is really deep and highlights a gap in the current diagnostic scheme/ criteria from the ACOG. Listen in for details!
