First Report of Atopobium vaginae Bacteremia with Fetal Loss after Chorionic Villus Sampling

Abstract excerpt

Infectious complications after chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are rare (<0.1%) but can lead to maternal sepsis and spontaneous abortion. We report the first bacteremia with Atopobium vaginae and suggest A. vaginae to be a pathogenic microorganism that can lead to intrauterine infection and fetal death following CVS.
