SCREENING OF BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS IN PRETERM LABOR AND PREGNANT
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
The polymicrobial ecosystem of the vagina complicates the determination of the microbial etiology of BV. Using culture-independent techniques, attempts have been made to differentiate the diversity of vaginal microbiota in BV-positive and BV-negative women. Several trials discovered a decrease in the incidence of preterm labor when BV was treated, but most of those trials were performed on women with a history of preterm labor. However, the majority of trials reviewed advise against the treatment of a general low-risk obstetric population, as there was no significant decrease in preterm labor. Conclusions: Therefore, based on the above studies and the current guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), treating pregnant women in high-risk populations who are diagnosed with BV provides the clinician with an opportunity to possibly prevent preterm labor in this population. In nulliparous women without a history of preterm birth, treatment is recommended if other risk factors are present (e.g. gonorrhea or chlamydia).
