[Bacterial vaginitis within the scope of gynecologic consultation].
Examinations about bacterial vaginosis have been done in 384 fertile women according the following diagnostic criteria: Homogenous gray flour, typical fish smelling, clue cells and pH of 5 in vaginal content. Clue cells could be detected in 233 (60.6 per cent) women. Bacterial vaginosis with three of the above mentioned criteria could be found in 40.4 per cent. The cure rate following oral metronidazole therapy (twice daily 500 mg metronidazole for 5 days) was 75.2 per cent. In cases with therapy failure or frequent recurrences treatment of sexual partners is indicated, because bacterial vaginosis is a sexually transmitted disease.
