Zusammenfassung:	Objective: To evaluate the risk of urinary tract infections in women with bacterial vaginosis. Methods: One hundred twenty-nine women who presented for routine gynecologic examinations were evaluated for bacterial vaginosis and urinary tract infections between June 1998 and March 1999. Results: Sixty-seven women had bacterial vaginosis and 62 women did not. Fifteen women with bacterial vaginosis (22.4%) had urinary tract infections, compared with six (9.7%) of those without it. Bacterial vaginosis was associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infections (odds ratio 2.79; 95% confidence interval 1.05, 8.33). Conclusion: Women with bacterial vaginosis are at increased risk for urinary tract infections.
