Research aim was to study the features of perinatal complications depending on the nature and timing of therapy in pregnant women with primary placental dysfunction.Materials and methods. 82 pregnant women with verified placental dysfunction (chorionic hypoplasia at 12–13 weeks) against the background of the threat of pregnancy termination and genital tract infections were included. All examined were divided into 2 groups: group I consisted of 42 pregnant women who started treatment before 16 weeks of gestation, group II consisted of 40 pregnant women whose treatment was started after 16 weeks of gestation. Women in group I received micronized progesterone, venotonic Normoven, Magnicum and Artihol. Antibacterial sanitation was carried out before 16 weeks of gestation. Group II also received micronized progesterone only. Antibacterial sanitation in this group was carried out after 16 weeks of gestation.Research results. After antibiotic therapy in group I monoinfections value decreased from 26.8 to 9.5%, mixed infections value decreased from 56.1 to 20.7%, while in group II the effectiveness of antibacterial therapy after 16 weeks was significantly lower. Statistically significant differences in weight, volume and area of the placenta in patients of studied groups were obtained. Assessing perinatal complications showed that the frequency of gestosis, premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation and intrauterine infection of the fetus were almost 2 times less frequent in group I than in group II.Conclusions. Placental dysfunction, which developed in the first trimester against the background of the threat of pregnancy termination and genital tract infections, is the basic pathology for complications of the perinatal period. A timely prescribed set of medical supplies, including micronized progesterone, venotonic Normoven, Artihol and Magnicum, was as an effective method of preventing perinatal complications in pregnant women with primary placental dysfunction. Antibiotic therapy up to 16 weeks of gestation does not fully prevent the development of perinatal complications, but it can significantly reduce the level of severe gestational pathology.

There are minimal UK data on the prevalence of genital tract infections in HIV‐infected pregnant women. British HIV Association guidelines suggest sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening as early as possible in pregnancy with consideration given to repeat at 28 weeks’ gestation. A retrospective case notes review of HIV-infected pregnant women at four South London HIV Centres (1 January 2004–1 January 2014) was carried out. Five hundred and ninety-eight pregnancies in 384 patients were identified. Median age 32 years (interquartile range [IQR] 27–36) and 96% (n = 346) were heterosexually infected. HIV was diagnosed antenatally in 21% of pregnancies (n = 107). Seventy-seven per cent of women (n = 384) were of Black African ethnicity and 75% were born in sub-Saharan Africa with 14% UK-born. The majority of pregnancies (279/507) were reported to be unplanned with 42 women proceeding to termination of pregnancy. A regular male partner was reported in 95% of pregnancies (n = 539) with median relationship duration (n = 347) of four years (IQR 1.5–7.0); 11/324 (3.4%) women reported additional sexual partners during the pregnancy. 76.6% (n = 427) of women had an initial STI screen which was done in the first trimester in 52.1%; 32.1% of women had a repeat STI screen in pregnancy, 96% of which was done in the third trimester. Overall, 61 (14.3%) women were diagnosed with at least one STI during their pregnancy. Vaginal candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis were diagnosed in 27.6% (n = 100) and 21.7% (n = 73) of pregnancies, respectively. STI prevalence was low and obstetric outcomes favourable in this cohort of women. Further information about STI prevalence in this population may impact future screening guidelines.

The article presents data on the diagnosis of genital tract infections in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, whose pregnancy ended in premature delivery. It is shown that in this contingent of pregnant women, vaginal microflora undergoes qualitative and quantitative changes, early detection of which contributes to the effective prevention of a preterm birth.

Objectives: To find a model that is effective intervention to reduce the incidence of lower genital tract infections in Khmer women. Subjects and Methods: The intervention study is carried which compared the test group with the control group of 400 Khmer women, aged 15 to 49 in Can Tho city. Results: The common knowledge of the prevention of lower genital tract infections in the intervention group increased from 30.9% in the control group to 54.5% in the intervention group. The general attitude toward the use of lower genital tract infections increased from 22.3% in the control group to 78.0% in the intervention group. This is a very significant improvement. The prevalence of subclinical infection of the intervention group (26.0%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (39.3%), the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: Intervention effectiveness is good in both knowledge, attitudes and practices, especially the effectiveness of interventions in practice in Khmer women. Key words: Effective intervention, lower genital tract infections, Khmer women, Can Tho city
