• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Ain Shams Maternity Hospital
• Treatments: Calcitonin

Criteria

Patients are with singleton pregnancies. Rupture of membranes will be diagnosed by history, sterile speculum examination to confirm fluid leakage from the cervical canal and ultrasound to confirm oligohydraminos.

Subclinical infection will be detected with laboratory indices (WBC count of ≥15, 000 c/mm3, CRP of ≥1 mg/dL) without any clinical symptoms and signs of infection as urinary tract infection in group 1 patients.

Women with multiple pregnancies. Clinical signs of infection as (fever,abdominal tendernes). Cervical dilatations of 2 cm or more. Maternal disease like diabetes or fetal complications like intra-uterine fetal death.
