Telethermography has
the
potential of being a sensitive clinical indicator of early
chorioamniotic
infection. This has important clinical implications for the management
of women with PPROM. While premature delivery is a significant risk for
women with PPROM, infection adds substantial morbidity to the premature
infant. Diagnosing this infection antenatally in its early stage may
facilitate
early delivery and prevention of infection. TTG could supplant many of
our current antepartum screening methods, such as non-stress testing
and
bio-physical profiles, which have proven ineffective in diagnosing
early
antepartum chorioamnionitis.
