Abstract
|
|
|
|
Candida glabrata is a yeast that commensally colonizes the upper cervix and vagina and has low pathogenicity in immunocompetent hosts. Here we report a case of C. glabrata chorioamnionitis and septic abortion following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). This case suggests that infection in the upper vagina and cervix should be considered prior to having IVF-ET. We encountered a rare case of C. glabrata chorioamnionitis and septic abortion; therefore, we report this case with a review of the literature.
