title: [Relationship between cervical infections and premature rupture of membranes].
abstract: Preterm delivery is still one of the most important problems of the modern obstetrics. In our country frequency of preterm delivery is 7.2-8.4% of all deliveries. Although preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality, the diagnosis and appropriate treatment of preterm labor remains an unresolved clinical problem. A growing body of evidence supports the view that preterm labor is a syndrome with multiple causes and the urogenital infections play a very important role in the pathogenesis of preterm birth. The study analyses relationship between results of microbiological examination of cervical smear and preterm rupture of membranes.
