[Bacteriology of vulvo-vaginitis in pediatrics].
Fifty (50) samples of genital secretions are collected from young girls between 1983 and 1994 at Albert Royer Hospital (Dakar, Senegal), to research pathogenic strains. Each sample were studied by microscopic examination and culture in several media after enrichment. 70% of the samples are positive of specific agents (37.25%), particularly Candida albicans (19.6%). Neisseria gonorrhoeae was found among the elders. This retrospective study shows the rarity of specific agents of genital infections generally isolated among the adults. The authors were not able to research other agents as Chlamydia trachomatis or viruses.
