OBJECTIVES: To determine the carriage rates of potential pathogens in the lower genital tract and factors associated with colonization among women with incomplete abortion.
DESIGN: A cross-sectional study.
SETTING: The Manual Vacuum Aspiration room of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra, Ghana.
SUBJECTS: Two hundred women undergoing Manual Vacuum Aspiration at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
METHODS: Eligible patients were screened for the presence of organisms in the lower genital tract by microscopy and culture of high vaginal and endocervical swabs.
RESULTS: Nearly two-thirds of the patients (64.2%) had potential pathogens in the lower genital tract. Bacterial vaginosis alone was present in 47% and a combination of bacterial vaginosis and Candida albicans was present in 17.2%. Residence in an urban slum showed a significant association with the presence of potential pathogens (Odds ratio 2.6; p-value 0.04).
CONCLUSION: Organisms responsible for bacterial vaginosis were the most frequently isolated potential pathogens in the cervical canal of patients with incomplete abortion at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. Management of these patients should therefore include antibiotic prophylaxis against bacterial vaginosis.
