title: Infectious vaginitis. An accurate diagnosis is essential and attainable.
abstract: Infectious vaginitis is a common clinical problem. Unfortunately, treatment, including self-medication, is often instituted before an adequate evaluation has been performed. An accurate diagnosis can usually be made in the office setting, and effective pharmacologic treatments are readily available.
