Cervicovaginal bacteria and fungi in pregnant diabetic and non-diabetic women: a multicenter observational cohort study.

Abstract

The higher prevalence of MH/UU after the 28th weeks can be explained with the physiologically reduced insulin tolerance characteristic of this gestational period. Among the diabetic testing positive to Candida spp. the statistically significant association was observed only in multigravida condition. These data suggest that diabetic multigravida women are at increased risk for Candida spp. infection in relation to the improper glycemic control.
