title: [Clinico-microbiological findings in women with a genital discharge].
abstract: The authors compare the prevalence of the most common vaginal infections at present and before 10 years and find that the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis infection is diminished and there is a tendency for the increase in the incidence of bacterial vaginosis. The determination of the vaginal pH and the application of 10% KOH for the "sniff test" may prove very useful in the diagnosis of vaginal infection.
