Abstract

ABSRACT

Specimens of High Vaginal Swabs (HVS) of 135 pregnant women were examined to determine the cause of vaginitis in pregnant women in Iseyin, Oyo State, Nigeria between August and October . Study subjects were selected from patients attending selected antenatal clinics in public, private and mission hospitals/clinics in Iseyin. Samples were collected from subjects in lithotomy position using serile cuscos bivalve speculum. Samples were analysed by using standard techniques as described. A structured questionnaire was also administered in order to obtain vital epidemiological information necessary for the study as described. The data analysis was done using chi square test. Results show that 45(33.3%) were positive for Cnadida spp, 15(11.1%) for Gardnerella vaginalis and 5(3.7%) for Trichomonas vaginalis. Sexual activities of individuals have no significant on the prevalence of vaginitis while symptomatology was a major indicator of infection. The effect of educational attainment and religion on infection rate was discussed. Infection decreased with age of patients while infection disribution by age of pregnancy gave a confusing pattern and the factors responsible for this were discussed.Sine vaginitis could be asymptomatic most times, the screening of all pregnant women with risk factors for preterm labour and premature rupture of membranes must be undertaken. Prompt treatment of cases is also recommended.
