Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes at 27 Weeks Gestation with Vaginal Colonisation by Haemophilus influenzae: A Case Report
Abstract
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is a significant contributor to preterm births and is associated with increased maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Early identification and appropriate management are crucial to prolong gestation and minimise complications. We report a case of PPROM at 27 weeks of gestation complicated by vaginal colonisation with Haemophilus influenzae, highlighting the importance of microbiological evaluation in such scenarios
