Abstract

In 40 mid-trimester abortion seekers, in whom abortion was induced by extra-amniotic normal saline or Emcredil, microbiological studies were carried out before induction and at 24 hours. It was observed that there was no difference in the isolation of organisms from vagina and cervix of these subjects between 0 hours and 24 hours. Thus, this study shows that leaving the catheter in the extra-amniotic space until it is expelled spontaneously does not increase the risk of ascending infection. At the same time, leaving the catheter in-situ until it is expelled spontaneously reduces the induction-abortion interval appreciably.
