The Roma are the second largest ethnic minority in Romania, the most socially and economically disadvantaged minority. There is a lack of studies on perinatal infection in Roma women. The study aimed at determining the prevalence of perinatal infection and comparing pregnancy outcome in Roma and Romanian pregnant women. Materials and methods:In this prospective study total of 252 pregnant women were enrolled from August 1, 2012 to October 2013 at a tertiary care hospital in Targu-Mures, Romania. Women were screened for bacterial carriage on admission for premature rupture of membranes and delivery. Insemination sample were collected from maternal cervix. Risk factors for colonization were collected by a questionnaire, coupled with data from an existing database. Results: The average age of Roma patient was 22, respectively 28 of the control group. There were more teenage pregnancies in the Roma group, Romanian women delivered more frequently after age 35. There was a significant difference in socioeconomic status of the two groups. Roma women had less hypertension, gestational diabetes and obesity, more induced abortion, preterm deliveries and grand multiparity. The prevalence of negative test result in the Roma and the control group were 75 % and 81 %, respectively (p = 0.718). Conclusion: However the majority of Roma women had a low socioeconomic status with deficient pregnancy follow up, significant differences between the groups in the rates of the perinatal infection were not observed. Further clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings.
