[Screening for bacterial vaginosis in a population of pregnant women reporting to cardiotocographic tests].
Of 753 patients repeatedly controlled by nonstress test the incidence of bacterial vaginosis amounted to 11.28%. As regards the bacterial kinds isolated we have not noticed expressive differences in relation to the different periods of pregnancy, with the exception of the Candida albicans that instead has been the more frequent and in constant increase. Before the 30th week of pregnancy until the 35th, more variety of bacterial flora, with prevalence of aspecific vaginitis has been observed. The incidence of premature birth has been 5.86% for positive cases only and 0.66% for all cases controlled by nonstress test. In the five cases observed the bacterial kinds Gardnerella vaginalis, Ureaplasma urealitycum and Streptococci beta hemol of B group in association with Candida a. have been isolated.
