All pregnant women with 28 gestation weeks or more were included in the research. Non-parametric chi-square test, percentage method, and proportions were used to validate the results. Determinant factors of the occurrence of the infectious process in the case material were as follows: maternal malnutrition by default (in 26,8 %), multiple vaginal examination (more than 3 in 15,5 %), pregnancy-associated genital infections (in 74,2 %), and membrane rupture time and labor initiation after 24 hours (in 22,7 %).
