Abstract

The aim of the study was to examine whether, and in what extend bacterial vaginosis (BV) might be the cause of threatening premature labor. Vaginal ecosystem was examined in the group of 225 pregnant women with the symptoms of threatening premature labor. The control group consisted of women with physiologically proceeding pregnancies. Bacterial vaginosis was confirmed in 14.2% of pregnant women with the symptoms of premature labor, whereas BV was found in 10.2% of women in the control group. The examination of BV seems to be useful in all pregnant women, especially in those with threatening premature labor.
