5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to examine acceptability and efficacy of 2 kinds of BV treatment among women at low risk for preterm delivery. The objectives are: To examine the side effects and patient acceptability of oral versus intravaginal metronidazole. To compare the efficacy of oral and intravaginal metronidazole for the treatment of BV To study the efficacy of oral and intravaginal metronidazole for the prevention of hospital admission during the 3rd trimester, chorioamnionitis, preterm delivery, and maternal infectious morbidity.
