  • Title: [Association of bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy with preterm delivery].
    Author: Helou J, Keness Y, Shalev E.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1996 Aug; 131(3-4):83-5, 144, 143. PubMed ID: 8854487.
    Abstract:
    In a prospective study we examined the correlation between bacterial vaginosis (BV) during pregnancy and preterm labor. Direct vaginal smears were obtained during the 15th to 20th gestational weeks, and the subsequent delivery records were evaluated for the occurrence of preterm labor. BV was found in 15% of pregnant women at 15-20 gestational weeks, and in 8% at 27-32 gestational weeks. No correlation was found between BV and preterm labor.
