A New Aspect of Neonatal Infection to Gardnerella vaginalis

A dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy was obtained by in vitro fertilization, in a 31 year old primigravida, with a history of endometriosis and antiphospholipid syndrome, revealed by several thrombo-embolic events on treatment by low-molecularweight heparin. The pregnancy was complicated by threatened preterm labor at 29 and 32 weeks’ gestation and was hospitalised for tocolytic (atosiban) and antenatal corticosteroids therapy (betamethasone), until the mother presented in active labor, not responding to tocolytic therapy, febrile 38.1°C, and no antibiotic therapy despite an elevated CRP of 37 mg/l.
