title: Puberal hormonal status and vaginal microbiology.
abstract: The Autors have examinated endocrine function in girls during puberal age. Have been showed datums relative to cultures effected on vaginal secrets withdrawn from little girls in prepuberal age. They have also studied polimicrobic vaginal flora related to sexual hormone levels. Have been controllated correlations between vaginal microbic status and cytohormonal response at different hormonal situation. The Doderlein presence is as much greater so higher is the oestrogen and progesterone (E/P) ratio, while the Doderlein bacillus isn't present when E/P ratio is lower. Perhaps in puberal age other factors than oestrogen and progesterone levels, could influence vaginal polymicrobic flora.
