Abstract
Preterm birth is one of the greatest unsolved problems in modem obstetrics. It has been showed that intraamniotic infection (IAI) from microorganisms found in the lower genital tract are implicated both in the etiology and in the complications of preterm birth. In Lithuania this problem is particularly severe, since the prevalence of genital and particularly sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is high. At the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Kaunas Medical University Hospital, a tertiary-care perinatal referral center, the studies on preterm labor and infection were performed during period 1992 - 1996.
