“…Although the point is still controversial, most authors have demonstrated some evidence of an effect of maternal gonorrhoea on prematurity (Sarrel and Pruett, 1968;Handsfield et al, 1973;Amstey and Steadman, 1976;Edwards et al, 1978). Drawbacks in these studies include small sample sizes, the possible bias in selection of cases and comparison groups, lack of a control group, or their retrospective nature.…”

The role of gonorrhoea and other sexually transmitted diseases as risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcome defined as low birth weight, stillbirth and postpartum endometritis, was examined in a case control study in Nairobi, Kenya. Maternal gonococcal infection was associated with very low birth weight babies (< 1500 g; 17.1 versus 5.8 per cent; P < 0.01; odds ratio 3.2) and with postpartum endometritis (18.2 versus 5.6 per cent; P = < 0.001; odds ratio 4.1). The isolation rate of Neisseria gonorrhoeae increased with declining birth weight (P < 0.05).In addition, an association was found between maternal gonococcal infection and cervical mucopus postpartum (15.5 versus 3.9 per cent; P = < 0401; odds ratio 4.6). The sensitivity of a yellow cervical swab was 62 per cent and the specificity 73 per cent. In settings where laboratory facilities are not available, empirical treatment may be implemented based on the finding of cervical mucopus. 52,464-465. 62-65.

“…Infection and alterations in the physical properties of the membranes represent the two most relevant factors in the PROM etiology [17], Several organisms [4][5][6][7][8][9] have been linked with PROM and preterm delivery. As to GBS, there is abundant literature related to the greater frequency and severity of the newborn sepsis for preterm infants [18] or in cases where there has been a long period of PROM [19].…”

“…[7], and Mycoplasma [8], have been linked with preterm delivery. Some of these organisms have also been associ ated with PROM [4,9], Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the most common cause of neonatal sepsis [10]. The rate of maternal colo nization by GBS ranges from 4 to 40% [10], An associa tion between GBS, preterm delivery, and PROM has been reported [11,12] which might have a special signif icance to possible enhancement of the infection risk for these newborn infants.…”

In a population of 1,050 pregnant women the effect of maternal colonization by group B Streptococcus on premature rupture of membranes (PROM), preterm delivery, and low weight was analyzed. A significant increment was found of the prevalence of PROM for patients colonized in the vagina and/or the rectum (26.4%) versus noncarrier patients (17.8%). In vaginal and/or rectal group B Streptococcus carriers, in whom group B Streptococcus was also isolated from the cervical culture, the rate of PROM was higher (41.7%), while when the cervical culture was negative, the PROM was similar to noncarriers. There were no significant differences with respect to colonization conditions regarding the incidence of preterm delivery or the different preterm delivery indicators analyzed.
