[Epidemiology and diagnosis in the vaginal environment. III. Diagnosis and epidemiology of bacterial vaginosis].
In a group of 600 examined women clue cells were detected in the native preparation in 72 women (12%), a positive amine test was recorded in 81 women (13.5%). 93.1% patients (67) with the finding of clue cells had a positive amine test. The values of the vaginal pH vary between 4.8 and 5.5. According to the accepted diagnostic concept bacterial vaginosis was detected in 68 women (11.5%). The most frequent concurrent infection was trichomoniasis. Finally the authors recommend to transfer the diagnosis of vaginal discharge from laboratories to surgeries, from fixed stained smears to native smears supplemented by the amine test and assessment of vaginal pH.
