“…Brabin and colleagues demonstrated reproductive tract infections induced abortion in girls in rural areas 12. Meizoso et al reported three of the cases had predisposing risk factors, like rupture of membranes or intrauterine contraceptive device, and ended in fetal death 13 . Our results revealed abortive women had a high proportion of infection than women without abortion, providing strong evidence that there is a firm relationship between vaginal infection and abortion.…”

Objective: To investigate the risk factors associated with candida infection of the genital tract in the tropics. Methods: We performed questionnaire survey and experiments at the Hainan branch of General Hospital of People's Liberation Army, Hainan General Hospital and Sanya Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital in 2013. Controls were without Candida infection of genital tract, and cases had from Candida infection. Results: We recruited 689 cases and 652 controls. The average age of cases with Candida infection of the genital tract was higher than that of controls. In the multivariate modeling, marriage (adjusted odds ratio: 2.49, 95% confidential interval: 1.09-5.67) and vaginal lavage (adjusted odds ratio: 4.41, 95% confidential interval: 1.13-5.14) were significantly associated with Candida infection of genital tract in tropics. Conclusion: Candida infection was related with age. Marriage and Vaginal lavage were significant risk factors. Attention should be paid to health education for the prevention of these infections.

“…In infected children born by GBS (-) mothers, E. coli and Enterococcus faecalis were the most common pathogens [12]. According to other authors, Streptococcus agalactiae, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus [1][2][3][4] were identified as pathogens responsible for early symptomatic infections [1][2][3][4]. In our own study, early-symptomatic infection was found in 88 (6.62%) of newly born infants.…”

“…Najczęstsze z nich to Streptococcus agalactiae, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus. Niektóre z tych patogenów mogą być przyczyną występowania wczesno lub późno-objawowych zakażeń u noworodków, nierzadko o bardzo ciężkim przebiegu klinicznym [1][2][3][4]. Mimo ogromnego postępu, jaki dokonał się w dziedzinie opieki perinatalnej, wciąż istnieje ryzyko zakażenia płodu w przebiegu ciąży lub porodu.…”

“…The most common of them are: Streptococcus agalactiae, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. Some of these pathogens may be the cause of both early or late symptoms in neonates, often with very severe clinical course [1][2][3][4]. Despite the enormous progress that has been made in the field of perinatal care, there is still a risk of infection of the fetus during pregnancy or childbirth.…”

STRESZCZENIEWPŁYW STOSOWANIA OKOŁOPORODOWEJ PROFILAKTYCZNEJ ANTYBIOTYKOTERAPII NA WYSTĘPOWANIE ZAKAŻEŃ WCZESNO-OBJAWOWYCH U NOWORODKÓW Cel pracy. Celem pracy była ocena skuteczności profilaktycznej okołoporodowej antybiotykoterapii na występowanie wczesnoobjawowych zakażeń. Materiały i metodyka. Materiał do badań stanowiły uzyskane z historii chorób dane 1328 żywo urodzonych, pojedynczych noworodków i ich matek. Badane parametry ciągłe opisano podając liczebność, średnią arytmetyczną, odchylenie standardowe, medianę oraz najmniejszą i największą wartość. Do analizy frakcji użyto testu Chi kwadrat; także z poprawką Yatesa (dla małych liczebności komórek). Poziom istotności statystycznej przyjęto dla p<0,05. Wyniki. U 6,62% noworodków wystąpiło zakażenie wczesno-objawowe. Infekcję GBS stwierdzono u 14 z nich, lecz tylko u 5 z nich wyizolowano wyłącznie GBS. E. coli stwierdzono u 33 noworodków, a "inne bakterie", w tym Enterococcus faecalis, Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus wyizolowano od 42 noworodków. U 24 noworodków występowały objawy kliniczne zakażenia oraz dodatnie wskaźniki stanu zapalnego w badaniach laboratoryjnych, przy ujemnych wynikach posiewów bakteriologicznych. Wnioski. W związku z wprowadzeniem obowiązku wykonywania badań w kierunku GBS ilość stosowanej antybiotykoterapii wzrasta. Skuteczność śródporodowej antybiotykoterapii oraz jest powszechność wydają się być zadowalające. Kolor wód płodowych może mieć wpływ na występowanie infekcji wewnątrzmacicznej, w tym wczesnoobjawowego zakażenia GBS. Słowa kluczowe: nosicielstwo GBS, zakażenie, poród, antybiotykoterapia ABSTRACT THE EFFECT OF PERINATAL ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS ON AN EARLY ONSET OF SYMPTOMATIC INFECTIONS IN NEWBORNSAim. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive perinatal antibiotic therapy on the occurrence of an earlysymptomatic infections in newborns. Material and Methods. The studied material consisted of data obtained from medical records of 1,328 born alive infants and their mothers. Advanced parameters were described with appropriate numbers, arithmetic means, standard deviation, median as well as minimum and maximum values. The level of statistical significance was p<0.05. Results.When it comes to 6.62% of newborns, they demonstrated the presence of early signs of infection. The Group B Streptococcus (GBS) infection was found in 14 cases, but only in 5 of them pure GBS strains were isolated. E. coli bacteria was reported in 33 neonates, while the other bacteria naming: Enterococcus faecalis, Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from 42 newborns. Among 24 newborns showing clinical signs of infection and positive indicators of inflammation in laboratory tests, simultaneously negative results of bacteriological cultures were reported. Conclusions. In connection with the introduction of an obligation to perform tests for GBS, amount of used antibiotics is increasing. However, the effectiveness of intrapartum antibiotic therapy and ...

In this nationwide cohort study in Denmark, use of oral fluconazole in pregnancy was associated with a statistically significant increased risk of spontaneous abortion compared with risk among unexposed women and women with topical azole exposure in pregnancy. Until more data on the association are available, cautious prescribing of fluconazole in pregnancy may be advisable. Although the risk of stillbirth was not significantly increased, this outcome should be investigated further.

Intrauterine candidiasis: report of four cases

Abstract: The pathogenic significance of fetal contamination by candida appears to depend largely on gestational age. Candida infection of the fetus can result in prematurity and death. The importance of early and accurate diagnosis of intraamniotic infection with candida is emphasized.
