Re: Amniocentesis for pregnancy with IUCD in-situ From: Arijit Biswas (obgab@nus.edu.sg) Fri Aug 22 03:35:28 1997 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Myer.S.Bornstein@massmed.org, : "Re: wheels" Previous message: Arijit Biswas: "Re: Amniocentesis for pregnancy with IUCD in-situ" In reply to: Brian Hackman: "Re: advice" The question is not regarding a connection between IUD and genetic amniocentesis. The increased risk of chorioamnionitis, PROM and Prem labor in pregnancies with IUD in-situ is well known. The query is whether amniocentesis would increase that risk. Is there any data available? I am not intersted in wild guesses. At Thu, 21 Aug 1997, Bernard Cristalli wrote: > >Dr Arijit Biswas wrote: >> >> I have a 38 year old patient who is now 12wks pregnant.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit.
