Abstract

We present a case of intrauterine fetal death at 18 weeks of gestation associated with a retained intrauterine contraceptive device and asymptomatic intraamniotic and fetal infection by Candida albicans. The infection was verified by histopathologic examination of the placenta and umbilical cord, growth of C. albicans in samples of amniotic fluid and the presence of high levels of IL-6 in the amniotic fluid.
