Four cases chronic funisitis, a rare variant of umbilical cord inflammation, are presented and compared with the acute and subacute forms. The distinctive findings are a predominantly lymphoplasmocytic infiltration, coagulative necorsis of the vascular media with secondary calcification, and the unusual association of chronic funisitis with chronic chorioamnionitis and chronic villitis. One fetus was stillborn, another was aborted, and two were live-born. Two fetuses were growth retarded and three had evidence of infection. Viral inclusions were identified in three placentas. The data strongly suggest that lymphoplasmocytic funisitis in these cases is the result of chronic intrauterine viral infection.
本文报告了4例慢性脐带炎（脐带炎症的一种罕见变体），并与急性和亚急性形式进行了比较。其独特的表现为以淋巴细胞和浆细胞为主的浸润、血管中层的凝固性坏死伴继发性钙化，以及慢性脐带炎与慢性绒毛膜羊膜炎和慢性绒毛炎的异常关联。1例胎儿死产，另1例流产，2例活产。2例胎儿生长受限，3例有感染证据。在3个胎盘组织中发现了病毒包涵体。这些数据有力地表明，这些病例中的淋巴细胞和浆细胞性脐带炎是慢性宫内病毒感染的结果。
