A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 351 pregnant women recruited from January 1st, to December 31st, 1998. To collect information it was used a formulary with different biological and sociocultural variables. The relative risks and the population attributable risk percents of the studied sexually transmitted diseases were calculated. The expectants with herpes simplex had the highest number of probabilities for spontaneous abortion and for having a low birth weight infant and/or with conjunctivitis. Having suffered from a sexually transmitted disease before represented the highest population attributable risk percent among the pregnant women to abort spontaneously and have a low birth weight infant and/or with conjunctivitis.
