Bacterial vaginosis as a risk factor for upper genital tract infection

Article Abstract:

Bacterial infection in the vagina may be associated with increased risk of infection of the upper genital tract, known as pelvic inflammatory disease. Upper tract infection was found in 56% of 116 women diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, compared to 30% of women without vaginal infection. Endometrial biopsy and inspection by laparoscopy were used to objectively determine upper tract infections. Although women with bacterial infection in the vagina had three times the risk of involvement of the upper genital tract, it is not known if treatment can prevent this association.

Midpregnancy genitourinary tract infection with Chlamydia trachomatis: Association with subsequent preterm delivery in women with bacterial vaginosis and Trichomonas vaginalis

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to estimate whether midpregnancy genitourinary tract infection with Chamydia trachomtis is associated with an increased risk of subsequent preterm delivery. The results revealed that the treatment of Chlamydia trachomtis was not associated with a decreased frequency of preterm birth.

Survival and major neonatal complications in infants born between 22 0/7 and 24 6/7 weeks of gestation (1999-2003)

Article Abstract:

A study is undertaken to compare survival and morbidity until discharge in infants born after 22-23 versus 24 weeks' gestational age (GA). It is concluded that the provision of life support for extremely preterm infants increases their chance of survival without more neonatal morbidity.
