“…This finding is in agreement with previous studies. [29][30][31][32] and could be due to the development of antifungal resistance, immune response, or hormonal changes among women. 32 Similarly Abu-Elteen (2001) stated that the most common species of Candida in vaginal swab was C. glabrata.…”

“…It is estimated that 50% of all women will have at least one VVC episode by the time they become 25 years old [34,35] and that among pre-menopausal women 75% of them will suffer at least one VVC episode while 45% of them will suffer two or more episodes [36]. Candida albicans, a commensal microorganism which can be isolated from the vagina, is the species responsible for most VVC cases.…”

Perinatal pathologies are diseases that show up during pregnancy until after the boy or girl´s birth, up to 28 days of life approximately. Helicobacter pylori infection is more frequent during pregnancy because in this period there is a decrease of the immune response mediated by cytotoxic cells with preservation of innate humoral immunity that causes bacterial activation and consequently a negative impact both for the mother´s as well as for the fetus´s health.Some of the perinatal pathologies related to this particular infection are: hyperemesis gravidarum, iron-deficiency anemia, restriction of intrauterine growth, spontaneous abortion and preeclampsia. The purpose of this review is to analyze pathologies linked toHelicobacter pylori infection during the pregnancy and find out if this pathogen can be transmitted from the mother to the child.It is concluded that the presence of Helicobacter pylori is considered a risk factor for each one of the aforementioned perinatal pathologies. However, this subject still needs further study, altogether with the potential impact of the pre-conception research and Helicobacter pylori infection eradication during this particular period. Vaginal yeast would be the main reservoir of this microorganism and it would enable its transmission to new-born babies.
