Diagnosis should be based upon positive findings in at least three of four of the following clinical criteria: 1) homogenous grey discharge, 2) clue cells on wet smear, 3) vaginal pH greater than 4.7, and 4) a positive potassium hydroxide (KOH) test, rather than any single parameter. ...
Gardnerella vaginalishas been implicated as a cause of non-specificvaginitis(NSV) and is thought to be a sexually transmissible organism. Characteristically, the patient has a malodorous, off-white, thinvaginal discharge. The discharge typically has a pH of 5 or more and gives a positive amine ...
This parasitic venereal disease due to a flagellated motile protozoan namedT. vaginalisis responsible forurethritisin men andvulvovaginitisin women. Although mostly asymptomatic, this infection may be associated to genital discharge both in females and males, pelvicinflammatory disease, and pregnancy-rel...
G vaginalis is therefore a relatively common isolate in patients with vaginal discharge. The concentration of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria ranged from 4.9-11.0 log10/g of secretion with an anaerobe-to-aerobe ratio of 10:1. Anaerobic bacteria, particularly anaerobic Gram-positive cocci (mean ...
Amongst the 107 patients, a positive qPCR was obtained respectively for 89 (83.2%); 26 (24.3%); 26 (24.3%); genitalium 10 (9.3%) and 5 (4.7%). Bacterial loads in single and co-infections were compared for each organism. and loads were significantly ( = 0.007 and = 0.005...

review by Catlin.282)G. vaginalishas a thin cell wall, which does not retain the crystal violet/iodine complex ondecolorization, accounting for the gram-variable or gram-negative appearance of the organism. However, the preponderance of evidence suggests thatG. vaginalishas a gram-positive ...
Detection of G.vaginalis specific gene fragment was used by polymerase chain reaction. Gram staining and bacterial culture were used to detect GV. A rapid diagnosis test of BV was used to detect the product of BV. RESULTS The positive rate of detection of clue cells, bacterial culture, PCR ...
Sixty women were positive for G vaginalis, of whom 26 had symptoms. Infections with G vaginalis may be present in women who have no symptoms. By careful questioning, examination, and side room testing general practitioners may be able to diagnose these infections in such women consulting them ...
