Abstract: A prospective cohort study was done on 271 subjects to determine the perinatal outcome of term neonates born to mothers with Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). Preliminary results showed there was an increased risk of neonatal sepsis and IUGR if the mother had bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy. The risk in developing neonatal sepsis was further increased if the mother with known bacterial vaginosis had co-morbid conditions. There was not enough data to determine if there was a risk for developing small for gestational age (SGA) neonates if mothers had both BV and co-morbid conditions. The mother`s age, <19yrs or >34yrs, together with the history of BV, also increased the risk of developing neonatal sepsis and SGA neonates (or IUGR). The mother`s parity, if >3, coupled with a history of BV, lowered the risk of developing neonatal sepsis. The development of neonatal sepsis is a factor that can prolong the stay of the neonate in the NICU.
