Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by imbalance in the vaginal microflora and a malodorous discharge when symptomatic. In pregnancy, BV has been associated with adverse outcomes such as miscarriage, premature rupture of membranes, preterm birth, and low birth weight.

The women were monitored until delivery, and their pregnancy outcome and demographic data were obtained using an interviewer-administered questionnaire.

Bacterial vaginosis was significantly associated with preterm delivery (risk ratio [RR], 2.68; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.44–4.98), low birth weight (RR, 3.10; 95 % CI, 1.29–7.94), and premature rupture of membranes (RR, 5.9; 95 % CI, 3.11–14.67).
