The implication of chlamydia and bacterial vaginosis among low-risk pregnant women with preterm birth: a prospective multicentric cohort study
The current findings suggest that CT infection, especially when combined with BV, may significantly increase the risk of PTB even when both infections are appropriately treated during pregnancy. The observed synergistic interaction highlights the potential role of screening for co-infection during pregnancy and reinforces an integrated management approach beyond treatment.
