Decision tree for samples from placentas, which were used to screen for infection with Waddlia chondrophila. Of 386 women, as many as 5 had a confirmed infection, which was defined as a minimum of 2 independent positive W. chondrophila–-specific test results, and as many as 31 had evidence of acute current W. chondrophila infection. IHC, immunohistochemical analysis.
