Is there a causal connection between motile curved rods, Mobiluncus species, and bleeding complications?
Motile curved rods, Mobiluncus species, were identified in 20 women whose main complaints were sparse vaginal bleeding and/or foul-smelling discharge. After treatment with metronidazole all the women were free of symptoms and no Mobiluncus could be detected.
