Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Aerobic Vaginitis (AV) is recently identified type of vaginitis that is diagnosed according to microscopic criteria. The clinical characteristics of AV include severely depressed levels of Lactobacillus and vaginal inflammation. So, the present study aims at analyzing the prevalence of AV in females in the reproductive age group (15-45 years), pathogens involved and their antibiogram. Materials and Methods: Over 1 year period, high vaginal swabs were collected from 220 women with clinical suspicion of vaginitis. They were subjected to Gram-staining, wet mount and culture. The AV score was determined, and the organisms were then identified and antibiotic sensitivity test of isolates was performed as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. Result: The prevalence of AV in this study was 35. The most common organism isolated was Enterococcus species followed by E.coli and S. aureus. Conclusion : The aerobic vaginitis patient with gynaecological symptoms should be investigated thoroughly. Aerobic vaginitis (AV) if it is not diagnosed and treated early especially during pregnancy can place the health of both the mother and the foetus at risk.
