title: [Diagnosis of chlamydia and gardnerella infection in patients with acute gynecological diseases].
abstract: Chlamydial infection was diagnosed by indirect immunofluorescence in 26.3% and Gardnerella infection in 28.7% of patients with acute gynecological diseases. The degree of vaginal contamination in patients with chlamydiasis was virtually the same as in all other examinees, whereas in patients with gardnerellosis the third and fourth degrees of purity predominated. Hence, assessment of the vaginal contamination (purity) is an additional criterion for screening for gardnerellosis but providing no clinically significant information for the detection of chlamydiasis.
