| description | Bacterial vaginosis (BV) represents disordered bacterial vaginal flora. It is the most prevalent vaginal syndrome in women of childbearing age. G. vaginalis is one of the indicatur organisms for the BV syndrome. BV represents a complex change including not only G. vaginalis but also certain anaerobic bacteria as well in waginal flora. There is a redution in the prevalence and concent ration of lactobacilli. Yet the pathogenesis of BV remains unclear. The primary medical significance of BV is the association with opportunistic pathogens which are responsible for most of the genital tract infections in women. Interpretation of Gram-stained slides of vaginal swab specimens for the diagnosis of BV is objective, reproducible, and correlates well with clinical diagnosis. |
