Diabetic pregnant women have many potential reasons to have genital infections such as poor metabolic control and impairement of leucocyte function. Relative immune deficiency exists in pregnancy. This study was designed to test the hypotheses that pregnant patients with insulin-dependent diabetes have a higher rate of ante partum genital infections when compared with a pair-matched control population. Two groups of pregnant women consisting of 23 patients with and 23 without diabetes mellitus, underwent colposcopy and cytology between 16th and 24th week of gestation to detect the presence of human papilloma virus (HPV), Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida albicans and aspecific infections. No significant differences were observed between the two groups.
