[Leptothrix vaginalis. Morphological studies].
73 patients with a microscopically confirmed Leptothrix vaginalis-infection were examined clinically and cytologically. 80% of the cases showed Leptothrix alone or together wihh lactobacilli or cocci. 18% had trichomonas- and 2% candida-infections. 26 cases (34%) showed inflammation of the vagina. The majority of infection was found in the age group 26 to 45 years. A microscopical examination of the Leptothrix-filaments revealed a subtile segmentation and sporulation.
