- Abstract
This article discusses a case study of a 35-year-old woman who presented with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and was diagnosed with intra-amniotic infection caused by Group B Streptococcus (GBS). The patient opted for antibiotic treatment and underwent repeat amniocentesis, which showed the elimination of GBS infection. The administration of antibiotics successfully resolved the infection and prolonged the pregnancy. The study highlights the potential benefits of antibiotic treatment in cases of GBS intra-amniotic infection in women with preterm PROM.
