Recurrent bacterial vaginosis

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1998
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common cause of vaginal discharge in women of childbearing age. In some individuals, it recurs frequently after treatment, frustrating both the patient and the physician. Standard BV treatment--metronidazole or clindamycin, administered either intravaginally or orally--is followed by relapse in approximately 30% of cases ...

The microbiology of bacterial vaginosis

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1993
A group of microorganisms are present concurrently in high concentrations in the vaginas of women with bacterial vaginosis. The major members of the group are Gardnerella vaginalis, anaerobic gram-negative rods belonging to the genera Prevotella, Porphyromonas and Bacteroides, Peptostreptococcus species, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and ...

Bacterial Vaginosis in Pregnancy

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2000
Bacterial vaginosis is a clinical condition caused by replacement of the normal hydrogen peroxide producing Lactobacillus sp. in the vagina with high concentrations of characteristic sets of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Bacterial vaginosis is the most prevalent cause of vaginal discharge or malodor, although 50 percent of women who meet the criteria

Bacterial vaginosis and pregnancy

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1994
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) represents a disturbance in the vaginal microflora with a massive overgrowth of predominantly anaerobic bacteria resulting in a disagreeable vaginal discharge. The syndrome of BV has been described in the medical literature since the turn of the century.

Epidemiology of bacterial vaginosis

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1993
Studies of the prevalence of and risk factors for bacterial vaginosis are flawed by imprecision in diagnosis, failure to study large and well-characterized populations, selection bias, and failure to correct for confounding variables. Prevalences range from 5% for women without any symptoms to 25% for those with gynecologic symptoms. Although bacterial

Dequalinium for bacterial vaginosis

Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 2017
Bacterial vaginosis is an infection characterised by overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria in the vagina with an accompanying loss of lactobacilli, and is thought to be the most common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of child-bearing age.1 Standard treatment for symptomatic bacterial vaginosis consists of a short course of an oral or topical ...

The epidemiology of bacterial vaginosis

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1999
There are two broad ways one might look at Ž . the epidemiology of bacterial vaginosis BV . If we accept the definition of epidemiology as being ‘the study of disease occurrence in human populations,’ then the primary focus of concern is on populations.

Management of bacterial vaginosis

Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 1998
Some vaginal discharge is common and normal in women of childbearing age. If bacterial infection occurs the discharge changes. When the infection is accompanied by little or no inflammation of the vagina (vaginosis), the predominant changes are in the volume and odour of the discharge.

Chorioamnionitis and bacterial vaginosis

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1993
An improved understanding of bacterial vaginosis and of clinical intraamniotic infection and histologic chorioamnionitis has produced data showing strong associations among these conditions. It has recently been shown that the microorganisms in both bacterial vaginosis and clinical intraamniotic infection are similar, of which anaerobes, Gardnerella ...
