TL;DR: The women with bacterial vaginosis were more likely to be unmarried, to be black, to have low incomes, and to have previously delivered low-birth-weight infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results of this trial suggest that the risk of low birth weight can be decreased by giving erythromycin to some women with C. trachomatis-infected women.
