Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of abnormal glucose metabolism on vulvovaginal candidiasis infection and pregnancy outcome in pregnant women.Methods One thousand and fifty-six pregnant women were col-lected who did prenatal examination and termly deliveried in the department of obstetrics and gynecology of our hospi-tal from Jun 2011 to Jun 2013.According to the glucose screening test results, they were divided into glucose normal group(n=624), GCT abnormal group(n=326)and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) group(n=106).The oc-currence of the vulvovaginal candidiasis(VVC) infection and pregnancy outcome of the three groups were observed during pregnancy.Results The occurrence rates of VVC of GCT abnormal group and GDM group had no significant differences(P>0.05), but they were significantly higher than those of glucose normal group(P<0.05).The recur-rence rate of VVC among the three group had no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion Abnormal glucose metabolism during pregnancy may increase occurrence risk of VVC, which affects the outcome of pregnancy and in-creases the risk of cesarean section and premature rupture of membranes and intrauterine fetal distress, thus it should be payed more attention to the changes of blood glucose level.Glycated hemoglobin level in pregnant women should be monitored.
