Abstract
Objective. To study vaginal microbiocenosis in pregnant women with poor perinatal outcome to determine the relationship between different types of perinatal infections and stillbirths. Subjects and methods. A retrospective study was conducted in 154 pregnant women divided into groups: a study group of 114 patients with antenatal fetal death at 22 weeks’ gestation; a control group of 40 patients with physiological pregnancy at the same time. Results. The patients in both groups were found to have statistically significant abnormal vaginal flora: coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (41.2%), Enterococcus faecalis (29.4%), Escherichia coli (44.1%), Staphylococcus aureus (11.1%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.9%), and Candida albicans (28.8%). At the same time, these abnormalities statistically significantly more commonly occurred in the study group. Conclusion. Of great importance is the determination of vaginal opportunistic pathogens in the prevention of adverse perinatal outcomes.
