Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 84
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an extremely prevalent vaginal condition and the number one cause of vaginitis among both pregnant and non-pregnant women. Aims and Objective- To study the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy after 20 weeks of gestation; to study the microbiology of bacterial vaginosis and antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Study Setting- The study is carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of MIMER Medical College, Talegaon Dabhade, Pune. Study Design- Hospital based observational study. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study was conducted to study the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy after 20 weeks of gestation and to observe its microbiology and antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Data Analysis and Statistical Tests- All the collected data was entered in Microsoft Excel sheet and then transferred to SPSS software version 17 for analysis. Appropriate statistical tests (t-tests/ chi-square test) were applied based on type and distribution of data. P-value < 0.05 was taken as level of significance. RESULTS The study included 540 cases and prevalence of bacterial vaginosis among pregnant women was (65.6%). The prevalence among asymptomatic cases was 64.6%. In 354 cases of BV, 86.7% were asymptomatic. Coagulase positive Staph. aureus was found in 43.9% of cases. High level of resistance against Fluoroquinolones, Cephalosporins and Penicillins and good sensitivity towards Aminoglycosides was noted. CONCLUSION The overall prevalence of bacterial vaginosis among pregnant women is very high in our study (65.6%). The prevalence of BV among asymptomatic pregnant women was 64.6%. In 354 cases of BV 307 were asymptomatic, i.e. 86.7%. We also found high level of resistance against Fluoroquinolones, Cephalosporins and Penicillins and good sensitivity towards Aminoglycosides.
