25. Prevalencia de microorganismos asociados a secreción genital femenina, Argentina
OBJECTIVE: There was a significant increase in the number of women demanding gynecological care in public hospital of the Great Buenos Aires, Argentina, between 1997 and1998. It was necessary to update the prevalence of associated microorganisms in order to review the laboratory support and adjust prevention and control guidelines. METHODS: Samples from vagi

26. A six-year follow-up survey of sexually transmitted diseases in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil
The notification of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is a prime component of well-designed public health policy. However, peculiar aspects of STD must be taken into account for the correct management of surveillance activities. Here, we describe the distribution of the most common sexually transmitted diseases among patients attended by the gynecological

27. Estudo da prevalencia e fatores de risco das infecções cervicovaginais em gestantes normais
The objective of this study was to establish a prevalence of genital infections during the third trimestre of a normal pregnancy and identify social ¬demographical and sexual factors associated with these infections.1"he following study (cross section design) was carried out on 328 pregnant women accompanied at the Pre-Natal Outpatient Clinic for normal pre

28. Reservoir of four organisms associated with bacterial vaginosis suggests lack of sexual transmission.
This study consisted of a search for the possible reservoir and mode of spread of the four bacterial vaginosis-associated organisms Mobiluncus mulieris, Mobiluncus curtisii, Mycoplasma hominis, and Gardnerella vaginalis. Their occurrence in rectal, oral, and pharyngeal specimens from women with and without bacterial vaginosis, their male sexual consorts, fou

29. Anaerobes and Gardnerella vaginalis in non-specific vaginitis.
Clinical evidence of bacterial vaginosis was present in 25 (35%) of 72 patients attending a London venereology clinic and correlated significantly with abnormal organic acids in vaginal secretions (24/25), with Gardnerella vaginalis on culture (17/25), with complaints of vaginal malodour (15/25), and with a relative scarcity of white blood cells in vaginal s

30. Sialidases (neuraminidases) in bacterial vaginosis and bacterial vaginosis-associated microflora.
Bacterial vaginosis, Prevotella species, and Bacteroides species have been associated with prematurity and upper genital tract infection. Prevotella (Bacteroides) species and Bacteroides fragilis have also been associated with preterm birth. However, the mechanism by which lower genital tract infection causes upper genital tract disease remains poorly unders

31. Longitudinal study of the biotypes of Gardnerella vaginalis.
Gardnerella vaginalis is the predominant vaginal microorganism in women with bacterial vaginosis. However, this organism is also frequently isolated from women without signs or symptoms of vaginitis. Earlier studies have not revealed whether certain biotypes of G. vaginalis are more often associated with bacterial vaginosis or are more common in women who ac

32. Treatment of bacterial vaginosis with a three day course of 2% clindamycin vaginal cream: a pilot study.
OBJECTIVE--To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 3 day course of 2% clindamycin cream in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. DESIGN--A prospective, randomised, double blind, placebo controlled study. SETTING--Department of Genitourinary Medicine, Royal Liverpool University Hospital. SUBJECTS--55 female patients aged 18 years and over, and premenopausal,

33. Screening for bacterial vaginosis: a novel application of artificial nose technology.
The AromaScan system was used to analyse vaginal swabs from 68 women attending a genitourinary clinic. Using clinical criteria, subjects were assessed for bacterial vaginosis. After training the AromaScan system to recognise patterns generated from four patients with and four patients without bacterial vaginosis, 16 of the 17 (94%) remaining subjects were co

34. Prevalence of Bacterial Vaginosis and Vaginal Flora Changes in Peri- and Postmenopausal Women
Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis and decrease in lactobacillus colonization in women 40 years old or older in relation to menopausal status by evaluation of Gram-stained smears. A total of 1,486 smears from Italian Caucasian women aged 40 to 79 years were examined. Women were classified as follows: fertile (regular cycles) (n = 3

35. Genomic DNA fingerprint analysis of biotype 1 Gardnerella vaginalis from patients with and without bacterial vaginosis.
Of the 20 biotype 1 Gardnerella vaginalis isolates analyzed, 10 from patients with bacterial vaginosis and 10 from patients without bacterial vaginosis, none shared the same DNA fingerprint. However, a 1.18-kb HindIII fragment was common among 18 of the 20 biotype 1 isolates in a restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis with a 7.9-kb G. vaginalis DN

36. DNA Hybridization Test: Rapid Diagnostic Tool for Excluding Bacterial Vaginosis in Pregnant Women with Symptoms Suggestive of Infection
This prospective comparative study evaluated a DNA hybridization test (Affirm VPIII) as an alternative to Gram stain for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. We examined vaginal smears from 1,725 pregnant women between the 12th and 36th weeks of gestation with clinical signs of vaginal infection. The DNA hybridization test compared well with Gram stain and
