title: [Application of 2% clindamycin cream in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis and valuation of methylcellulose gel containing the complex of Chitosan F and PVP k-90 with lactic acid as carrier for intravaginally adhbited medicines in the cases of pregnancies with the symptoms of preterm delivery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  There are many reports informing about the connection between BV and the increased risk of preterm delivery. The reason of self-concession and reversion of BV after having executed an efficient treatment has not yet been properly explained.
  
  
  METHODS
  The aim of this work was the clinical valuation of the 2% Clindamycin cream in the treatment of BV and of the methylcellulose gel containing the complex of Chitosan F and PVP K-90 with lactic acid as a carrier for intravaginally adhbited medicines in the cases of pregnancies with the symptoms of a preterm delivery.
  
  
  METHODS
  The research comprised 145 pregnant between 24-34 week of pregnancy, hospitalised because of the symptoms of a preterm menace delivery. In the case of the detection of BV, a 10-day therapy using intravaginal cream containing 2% Clindamycin was executed. In the cases not qualified as BV, the methylcellulose gel containing the complex of Chitosan F and PVP K-90 with lactic acid has been intravaginally adhibited for 10 days.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  1. Application of 2% Clindamycin cream is an efficient method of the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. 2. Methylcellulose gel containing lactic acid combined with the complex of Chitosan F and PVP K-90 allows a persistent maintenance of the correct pH of vagina. 3. Methylcellulose gel, because of its physico-chemical properties similar to physiological mucus, is a universal carrier for intravaginally adhibited medicines.
