Official Title: Chorioamnionitis: Observation of at Risk Infants vs Standard Care. Randomized Controlled Trial.

Brief Summary: This study evaluates the non-inferiority of a protocol of limited evaluation (complete blood count, blood culture) and clinical observation by standardized physical examination versus the algorithm suggested in the CDC's 2010 guidelines (limited evaluation, clinical observation and antibiotic therapy) in the management of asymptomatic infants born at term to mothers with suspected chorioamnionitis. The primary outcome of the study is the difference in the prevalence of sepsis-related symptoms between the two groups.
