title: [Study on etiologic agents of vaginitis].
abstract: In order to provide scientific basis for preventing and curing vaginitis, etiologic agents were examined in 354 patients with vaginitis and 115 healthy women using rapid and reliable laboratory methods. The inducements of vaginitis were analysed. The results showed that candida was only detected for the normal control group. Bacteria, candida and trichomonas were the commonest causes of vaginitis. With the increasing ages of patients with vaginitis, the incidence rates of all kinds of vaginitis were lowered. Vaginitis is associated with pregnancy, using antibiotics and contraceptive, or sexual activity.
