Abstract
Objective: To present the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in threatened preterm, preterm, and term labor and results after treatment. Material and Method: Forty-four, 50, and 56 pregnant women with threatened preterm, preterm, and term labor, respectively were participated. Bacterial vaginosis was diagnosed by Amsel's criteria. Treatment by metronidazole or clindamycin was used. A case record form recorded maternal age, obstetric history, gestational age at admission and delivery, examination data, the route of delivery, and the newborn birth weight and conditions. Results: The patients in threatened preterm labor group had significantly positive bacterial vaginosis when compared to those in the term labor group. Conclusion: Prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in threatened preterm, preterm, and term labor were presented. The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in both preterm labor groups was higher than in the term labor group.
