Abstract

Infectious complications in pregnancy and delivery are still y serious problem in obstetrical, gynecological and neonatological practice. The main part of them are caused from the anaerobic organisms associated with bacterial vaginosis as well from sexually transmitted pathogens. In this study we present data about the frequency of spreading of bacterial vaginosis and vaginitis in pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy. We held y study of 106 pregnant women aged between 15 and 35, registrated at the Pregnancy Consultation Office in eleven. About half of the women did not have data for genital discharge and the microbiological analysis showed normal vaginal flora. Two thirds of the rest investigated women had data for candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, or both. Only one case of Trichomonas vaginalis-vaginitis was detected. The results from the microscopic examination of the specimens from 10 (9.4%) of the women were suspected for N. gonorrhoeae and/or Chlamydia trachomatis-cervicitis. Group B streptococci in significant quantity was found in five cases. These results showed high frequency of spreading of bacterial vaginosis and cervico-vaginitis in pregnant women.
