N2  - Genital infections during pregnancy are a major health problem in many parts of the world, with the particularity of being responsible for complications to the mother and infant, on top of being a burden to the health system. This chapter will be a discussion of the main genital infections during pregnancy: candidiasis, trichomoniasis, herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea, bacterial vaginosis, aerobic vaginitis and human papillomavirus. Many of their complications are pregnancy-related for which a prompt diagnosis, effective treatment, and decrease in the risk of re-infection are critical in order to decrease their potential morbid-mortality. Management of these pathologies depends on the etiology, stage of infection, gestation, and any drug contraindication. After a systematic literature search followed by selection of the most relevant articles, recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of genital infections in pregnancy were developed.
