Evaluation of Specific Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis Among Pregnant Women
OBJECTIVE Identification of the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in pregnancy might be rational in order to identify a possible BV-associated group at risk of preterm delivery. METHODS Three hundred and five women early in the third trimester of pregnancy were interviewed about lifestyle factors and specific symptoms of BV and given a vaginal examination. A longitudinal three-week follow-...
متن کاملImpact of treatment for bacterial vaginosis on prematurity among Brazilian pregnant women: a retrospective cohort study.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Bacterial vaginosis has been associated with prematurity and other perinatal complications. However, the efficacy of the treatment for preventing such complications has not yet been well established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of treatment for bacterial vaginosis on a low-risk population of Brazilian pregnant women, in order to prevent prematuri...
متن کاملA Comparison of Colorimetric Assessment of Vaginal pH with Nugent Score for the Detection of Bacterial Vaginosis
Background. A Nugent score > 7 has been defined as the gold standard for the diagnosis for bacterial vaginosis (BV), though it is resource intensive and impractical as point of care testing. We sought to determine if colorimetric assessment of vaginal pH can accurately predict the occurrence of BV. Methods. We performed a planned subanalysis of 1,216 pregnant women between 13 0/7 and 19 6/7 wee...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis in Females with Vaginal Discharge using Amsel’s Clinical Criteria and Nugent Scoring
Background: To determine the frequency of bacterial vaginosis in female patients with complaint of vaginal discharge and to evaluate the accuracy of Amsel’s clinical criteria taking Nugent criteria as gold standard. Methods: In this descriptive study female patients of a reproductive age group presenting with a complaint of abnormal vaginal discharge were included. A routine gynaecological spec...
متن کاملQuantitative PCR assessments of bacterial species in women with and without bacterial vaginosis.
Knowledge of the abundance of bacterial species in vaginal communities will help us to better understand their role in health and disease. However, progress in this field has been limited because quantifying bacteria in natural specimens is an arduous process. We developed quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assays to facilitate assessments of bacterial abundance in vaginal specimens and evaluate...
