    Background. The aim of this study was to find the incidence of healthy parturients at term colonized with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Group B Streptococcus (GBS), the actuall transmission from ... mother to baby during labour, and the incidence of CT and GBS infection in newborns. The newborn maybecome ill with chlamydial conjunctivitis or chlamydial pneumonia, whereas the GBS infection triggers neonatal sepsis resulting in high mortality rate. The literature provides evidence that in the mother, colonized with CT, there is a 50% probability that her newborn will suffer from chlamydial conjunctivitis. The data in literature show that from 50% to 40% asymptomatic women are colonized with GBS. In 40-50% of women, GBS is present in the lower genital tract throughout the duration of pregnancy, and in 20-30% occasionallyonly. The GBS transmission from mother to newborn during labour isestimated to be as high as 70%. Methods. At the Department of Obstetrics andGynecology, the smear for the detection of CT was taken from the cervix of parturients (n = 533), and the smear for GBS detection from the lower third ofthe vagina (n = 211). In newborns the conjuctival specimen for CT detection was taken on day 4 after birth, and nasopharyngeal specimen for GBS detection within the first 24 hours after birth. Six weeks after delivery, all the mothers enrolled in the study were sent a questionnaire enquiring whether their newborn had suffered from conjunctivitis or pneumonia. The study period was September 1984-April 1985. Results. CT was detected in 6.4% of mothers andin 10% of newborns; GBS was detected in 1.4% of mothers and in 7.6% of newborns.(Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)
