Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Vaginal discharge, the major sign of vaginitis is the common reason for which women consult a Gynecologist. About 9 out of 10 patients with this problem suffer from infections of vagina. A symbiotic relationship between Gardnerella vaginalis and anaerobic bacterial flora, which changes vaginal ph is responsible for nonspecific vaginitis. Objective: The present study was undertaken to study the Non specific vaginitis with special reference to Gardenerella vaginalis. Materials and methods: 200 women attending to Gynaecology op with the complaint of vaginal discharge of one week duration or more were selected as the study group along with a control group of 50 women attending the same op with complaints other than leucorrhoea. Sterile swabs were collected and transported in Amie’s transport medium. Swabs were inoculated on to Columbia blood agar and incubated upto 48 hours in candle jar. Results: G.vaginalis was isolated in 68(34%) of cases. The incidence was maximum in the age group of 21-30 years and women with greyish white discharge was 66.25%. Majority of isolates were sensitive to Ampicillin (51%) followed by metronidazole (50 µg) (36%). Conclusion: our study findings are contrary to the belief. Therefore it is recommended that large sample based studies may be taken up in which may throw better light
