Abstract

Objectives: To look at the manifestation of maternal vaginal colonization of Group B Streptococcus in pre-term premature rupture of membranes.
Methods and materials: This cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from November 02 ,2020 to May 02, 2021. By using chi square test, Group B streptococcus (GBS ) was stratifi ed among age, gravidy, parity, BMI and booking status to see the eff ect modifi cation value ≤ 0.05 was taken as significant. Those co comorbidities that aff ect the results were excluded. All data was entered, processed, and analyzed on SPSS version 21.0.
Results: Out of total 126 patients, mostly in 15-25 Years of age [04(3.17%),P value,0.889] were reported as compare to 26-35 Years of age 03(2.38%) and 0.79% years among 36-45 Years. Simailrly the frequency of Group B streptococcus (GBS) was prevalent among 15-20 kg/m2 category [04(3.17%),P value,0.083] as compare to 21-25 kg/m2 02(01.58%) and 26-30 kg/m2 having 02(01.58%)
Conclusion: The gastrointentinal and vaginal epithelium of healthy women colonized by Group B Streptococcus(GBS) pose a greater risk of serious pathologies in the susceptible infant by a transmission during parturition or ascending intrauterine infection. The incidence of early-onset GBS sepsis has decreased as a result of universal screening and intra partum antibiotic prophylaxis.
