Abstract
The technique of umbilical cord puncture for diagnosis and therapy, which has been shown to be feasible and relatively safe for both mother and fetus, is being used increasingly. The fetal loss rate with this technique has been estimated to be approximately 1%. A case is presented of fetal death from group B beta-streptococcal sepsis after funipuncture, the first report of this complication.
