Etiketle | Özet: | Vaginal infection is a common condition in women, it can be asymptomatic or manifest with itching, burning, abnormal discharge, irritation, dyspareunia and fetidness; this condition is triggered by the action of pathogenic microorganisms of viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic origin, whose virulence and pathogenicity is related to their ability to bind to the vaginal epithelium, form biofilms and produce toxins that degrade infected cells; Their proliferation in pregnant women benefits from physical and hormonal changes, alteration of the vaginal microbiota, increased cervical-vaginal secretions and decreased local immunity; these infections can have adverse consequences such as preterm delivery, postpartum endometritis, fetal sepsis and low birth weight. The present investigation was based on the analysis of vaginal secretion samples from 100 pregnant women who attended the Motupe Health Center during May-August 2022, with the objective of identifying the causative agents of vaginal infection through the analysis of macroscopic characteristics (appearance, pH and amine test) and microscopic observation in fresh, KOH and Gram stain and then distribute them according to age range and gestational time. The etiologic agents identified were Gardnerella vaginalis (49%), Candida spp. (33%), Mobiluncus spp. (17%) and Trichomona vaginalis (1%); according to age, Gardnerella vaginalis and Mobiluncus spp. were identified more frequently in patients aged 16 to 20 years; while Candida spp. and Trichomona vaginalis were observed mainly in patients aged 26 to 30 years; as for the gestational period, G. vaginalis and Mobiluncus spp. were most frequent in patients during the first trimester of pregnancy; Candida spp. predominated in the second trimester and Trichomona vaginalis was observed during the third trimester of gestation |
