Abstract

AIM: This research has aimed to determine the prevalance of the vaginal infections in early pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Vaginal smears besides the routine follow-up examinations had been taken from the first- trimester pregnant patients admitted to our polyclinics between March 2007 and March 2008. The vaginal smears had been assessed in our pathology department’s laboratory. 137 pregnant patients were included to our study. FINDINGS: 23 patients had bacterial vaginosis, 14 of them had candida vaginalis and 7 had trichomonas vaginalis. 3 patients had both bacterial vaginosis and trichomonas vaginalis. CONCLUSION: We suggest that vaginal smear examinations should be done in first trimester of pregnancy to determine the infections which can be treated easily.

Özet

AMAÇ: Araştırmanın amacı erken gebelik dönemlerinde vajinal infeksiyonların sıklığını araştırmaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Polikliniğimiz Mart 2007 ile Mart 2008 tarihleri arasında başvuran 1-3 aylık gebelerden rutin gebelik kontrollerinin yanında vajinal yayma alınmış ve Patoloji Laboratuarında değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmaya 137 gebe alınmıştır. BULGULAR: Bu gebelerden 23’ün bakterial vaginozis, 14’ünde kandida vaginalis, 7’sinde trikomonas vaginalis saptanmıştır. 3 hastada ise aynı anda hem bakterial vaginozis hem de trikomonas vaginalis görülmüştür. SONUÇ: Tanı ve tedavisi kolaylıkla yapılabilen bu infeksiyon etkenlerini saptamada gebelerin ilk 3 ay kontrollerinde vajinal yayma yapılmasını öneriyoruz.
