Gruzevsky Odessa National medical University; e-mail: medtrans2@rambler.ru. Summary Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the most common infectious pathologies of the genital organs of women, mainly at reproductive age. Its share among all vulvovaginal infections of the lower genital tract of women is from 12% to 80%. The presence of BV in women increases the risk of developing inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs and creates serious problems after gynecological surgery. BV can cause complications of pregnancy and childbirth, contributes to miscarriage of pregnancy and premature birth; can lead to the development of chorioamnionitis, postpartum endometritis, fetal intrauterine infection, peritonitis; bacterial vaginosis associated with infection of the urethral tract, cervicitis; is a risk factor for infection with sexually transmitted infections and HIV infection. Under conditions of high pH values, favorable conditions arise for colonization of the urogenital system by pathogenic microorganisms, as well as exacerbation of the latent course of the viral infection of the urogenital tract. Mixed infections or infections that have developed against the background of a pronounced imbalance in the composition of the vaginal microcenosis are observed in 20-30% of cases of clinically expressed infections of the vagina. BV negatively affects the quality of life of women. Key words: bacterial vaginosis, infectious diseases
