Fetal behaviour as an intrauterine patient is unknown. In the diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and in the criteria for treatment only the mother is considered leaving the fetus out. The presence of immunoglobulin M in the amniotic fluid is an indicator of fetal infection and could allow an accurate diagnosis of fetal disease or treatment, if the measurement is related to the presence or absence of organism in the amniotic fluid. In this way, the study of fetal behaviour under these conditions could be done. The objective of this research was to determine the presence of STD organism in the amniotic fluid of the STD infected pregnant women and to evaluate the prevalence and evolution of these pathologies in the fetus. No STD organism, nor immunoglobulin M were found in the 13 samples of amniotic fluid (8 pre and 5 post-treatment) of infected pregnant women. The presence of microorganisms and its relation to immunoglobulin M was not observed. More cases are needed to arrive to a conclusion regarding fetal immunology and to a better understanding of antibacterial properties of the amniotic fluid. We concluded that no contamination in the amniotic fluid or fetal infection was found in pregnant women with STD.
