“…Studies that have been conducted in pregnant women report prevalence rates ranging from 0% to approximately 20%. 2,6,7,1720 The prevalence of TV infection in this study was 12.9%. This result is similar to the prevalence found in a study that was conducted in Umlazi, South Africa, that showed a prevalence of 15.3% in pregnant women.…”
