Abstract
Histologic chorioamnionitis is associated with placental abruption. The association was strongest in the presence of severe chorioamnionitis at term and, to a lesser extent, at preterm gestations. These observations suggest that the histologic findings in abruption are accompanied by severe inflammation, in both preterm and term gestations.
