Abstract. – OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the prevalence
of cervicovaginal Bacteria, group B Streptococcus
(GBS), Gardnerella vaginalis (GV), Candida
spp., Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Mycoplasma
hominis (MH) and Ureaplasma urealyticum
(UU) in pregnant women with and without diabetes
mellitus (DM).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Cervicovaginal
swabs were gathered from 473 pregnant patients
divided into 127 diabetic and 346 non-diabetic. The
results were correlated to gestational age, parity
and glycemic control.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study
was to evaluate the relationship between bacterial
vaginosis (BV) and relapse of cervical intraepithelial
neoplasia grade 2 or more (CIN2+) after Loop
electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred four
patients who underwent LEEP for CIN2+ were followed
up every six months for three years. Fifty-three
were negative for BV and fifty-one were positive.
Each clinical control included Pap test, colposcopy,
Amsel criteria test, HPV-DNA, and HPV-mRNA test.
