Objective: To determine the presence of histologic chorioamnionitis in patients with premature rupture of membranes, regardless of time of evolution and its association with neonatal morbidity. Method: We took women of childbearing age, singleton pregnancies between 30 and 41 weeks plus 6 days, premature rupture of membranes, regardless of time of evolution, without clinical signs of intraamniotic infection. We proceeded to sample the endocervical canal with a sterile applicator. Also proceeded to review the medical records of newborns, to verify whether these had any complications associated with intra-amniotic infection. Results: 37.1 % of patients with chorioamnionitis had a duration of less than 8 hours premature rupture of membranes, 2.9 % progressed with premature rupture of membranes more than 24 hours after onset. Although the length of the premature rupture of membranes was greater in patients with chorioamnionitis, this did not differ statistically from the patients that had less time when they had chorioamnionitis premature rupture of membranes (P = 0.596). 97.1 % of endocervical secretion cultures in patients with histologic chorioamnionitis was positive The most common organism isolated was E. coli, in 29.4 % of cases. Conclusions: That regardless of the duration of subclinical chorioamnionitis can find premature rupture of membranes and this in turn influences the neonatal morbidity
