[Uses of vaginal pH measurement for prevention of premature labor. Results of a prospective study].

UNLABELLED: The influence of the microflora of the vagina and cervix has been undervalued for the induction of premature birth. Examination of the microbiological problem by determination of the vaginal pH in combination with the microflora (Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum). Report of the outcome of 161 prospective, ad the beginning normal pregnancies in comparison of 200 primary hospitalized pregnancies with symptoms of imminent premature birth. CONCLUSION: The vaginal pH is a very useful parameter of screening for identification of disturbances of the microflora in practice. In cases of pathologic pH (> 4.5) it is possible by therapy to reduce the premature birth rate.
