    Background/objective Subclinical microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity in patients with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) at term occurs in 34% of cases and is a risk factor for puerperal endometritis. This study was conducted to determine whether antibiotic administration to women with PROM at term could reduce the rate of infection-related morbidity.
