OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine any associations among midtrimester cervical fluid sialidase activity, bacterial vaginosis, and subsequent spontaneous preterm birth.STUDY DESIGN: In this nested case-control study all patients (n=126) with spontaneous preterm birth at 1.43 and >2.23 nmol . mL(-1) . min(-1), respectively) was associated with spontaneous preterm birth. The frequency of combinations of bacterial vaginosis and elevated sialidase activity was similar (P greater than or equal to.63 with either cutoff) in case patients and control subjects. Sialidase activity was significantly higher among women with bacterial vaginosis than among those without bacterial vaginosis (1.35 +/- 1.87 vs 0.03 +/- 0.14 nmol . mL(-1) . min(-1), P
