Koks 2 Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, M¨˘xima Medical Center, Veldhoven, the Netherlands Department of Medical Microbiology, M¨˘xima Medical Center, Veldhoven, the Netherlands Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a procedure in which biopsies of placental tissue are obtained for prenatal genetic diagnosis. Risk of infection after CVS is low and only sporadic cases of postprocedural sepsis have been reported. Clostridium perfrigens and Escherichia coli are the most commonly described pathogens in cases of sepsis after prenatal invasive diagnostic procedures. However, this report describes a case of sepsis with fetal loss after CVS caused by Atopobium vaginae. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajmcr/9/12/19/ajmcr-9-12-19.pdf sepsis chorionic villous sampling Atopobium vaginae fetal loss
