| diagnostic value of clinical examination, direct microscopy, and culture in the gardnerella vaginalis syndrome. | in a general practice 467 women aged 15-49 years with vaginal discharge were consecutively examined in order to compare the diagnostic value in the gardnerella vaginalis syndrome of the clinical examination, direct microscopy of the vaginal secretion, and culture. we found significant correlations between all relevant combinations of the diagnostic methods. the predictive value of a positive test for the clinical examination, the microscopy, and the clinical examination combined with microscopy, ... | 1985 | 3903905 |
| the treatment of gardnerella vaginalis vaginosis: a randomized comparison of pivampicillin with metronidazole. | the efficacy of pivampicillin and metronidazole were compared in the treatment of gardnerella vaginalis associated bacterial vaginosis. in a multicenter trial 86 women were given pivampicillin (p) 700 mg twice daily for 6 days and 86 women received metronidazole (m) 400 mg three times daily for 7 days. at control, 2 weeks from the start of treatment, patients in group p showed the best clinical results, 77.9% in group p vs. 64.0% in group m (p = 0.066). p showed a higher clinical efficacy than m ... | 1985 | 3898976 |
| an office laboratory panel to assess vaginal problems. | in determining the cause of vaginal complaints, the routine use of four simple tests ("the vagina panel") enables the physician to identify pathogens (candida, gardnerella, trichomonas), pathologic processes (inflammation, estrogen deficiency) and, in most instances, a healthy vagina. time and money are saved. the specimens can be collected in one minute during a pelvic examination. the panel can provide the answers to eight essential questions in two minutes of observer time, with supplies cost ... | 1985 | 3898791 |
| moxalactam versus clindamycin plus tobramycin in the treatment of obstetric and gynecologic infections. | the clinical efficacy of moxalactam versus clindamycin/tobramycin was evaluated in a comparative, randomized, prospective study. sixty patients were treated: 30 with moxalactam and 30 with clindamycin/tobramycin. there were 15 cases of tuboovarian abscess, 36 cases of severe pelvic inflammatory disease with peritonitis, eight cases of endomyometritis, and one wound abscess. aerobic and anaerobic cultures from the sites of infection yielded 441 microorganisms from 53 patients; an average of 8.3 b ... | 1985 | 3895947 |
| comparison of single-dose vs one-week course of metronidazole for symptomatic bacterial vaginosis. | in a prospective, single-blind, randomized study, a single 2-g dose of metronidazole was compared with a seven-day course of 500 mg given twice daily in the treatment of symptomatic vaginal discharge associated with gardnerella vaginalis. based on resolution of symptoms and on cultures negative for g vaginalis, 86% (40/46) of women treated with the single dose and 97% (35/36) of women treated with the seven-day course were considered cured at seven to ten days after treatment. evaluation at 21 d ... | 1985 | 3894707 |
| problems in specimen collection for sexually transmitted diseases. | laboratory methods for the diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases (stds) are continuously undergoing improvement. it remains the responsibility of the clinician to become familiar with the tests available for the diagnosis of stds. those tests depend on obtaining clinical specimens from the proper site and on transporting them to the laboratory under satisfactory conditions. | 1985 | 3894659 |
| non-specific vaginitis: diagnostic features and response to imidazole therapy (metronidazole, ornidazole). | detailed quantitative aerobic, anaerobic, fungal and mycoplasma flora was obtained for 43 women presenting with complaints of vaginal discharge and malodour. clinical response was associated with eradication of the abnormal anaerobic flora, despite persistence of g vaginalis in nine (26%). topical imidazole therapy appeared to have some advantage over oral therapy. gram stains of vaginal swabs were found to be the most useful laboratory investigation. | 1985 | 3887255 |
| [amine colpitis, not only an esthetic problem: increased infection risk in labor]. | in 76 women with non-specific vaginitis we could always isolate gardnerella vaginalis and several anaerobics, especially bacteroides species, in hgh counts. in 19 puerperae, bacteriologial examinations of the infected episiotomy wound yielded a spectrum of pathogens similar to that of non-specific vaginitis. in 74 per cent of the women with wound infection following episiotomy, non-specific vaginitis had either already been present before childbirth (and identified as gardnerella vaginalis vagin ... | 1985 | 3884431 |

| a case of conjunctivitis in a neonate due to gardnerella vaginalis. | a case of conjunctivitis in a neonate caused by gardnerella vaginalis is described. the diagnosis was confirmed by examination of a gram-stained smear, isolation of the organism from the conjunctival swab, and also by response to treatment with chloramphenicol. the organism was probably derived from the mother's birth canal during delivery and the early rupture of membrane might be the predisposing factor. | 1985 | 3879399 |
| isolation of gardnerella vaginalis from high vaginal swabs. | vaginal swabs from 2715 consecutive unselected women with vaginal discharge were examined for gardnerella vaginalis, candida albicans and trichomonas vaginalis. of 2715 women, 2043 had non-specific vaginitis and g. vaginalis was isolated from 269 cases (13.2%). thirty five of the strains were isolated together with c. albicans, eight with t. vaginalis, six with bacteroides species and three each with group b streptococcus and staphylococcus aureus. two hundred and sixteen (80%) of the isolates w ... | 1985 | 3879398 |
| comparison of two different metronidazole regimens in the treatment of gardnerella vaginalis infection with or without trichomoniasis. | gardnerella vaginalis infection confirmed by culture was treated either by a 2 g dose or divided doses of metronidazole in 100 and 200 female patients respectively. both dosages were equally effective. we recommend a single dose of 2 g metronidazole in the treatment of gard. vaginalis infection, particularly when association with trichomoniasis is confirmed or suspected. | 1985 | 3879249 |
| predictive value of the "clue cells" investigation and the amine volatilization test in vaginal infections caused by gardnerella vaginalis. | although still controversial, an etiologic role of gardnerella vaginalis is imputed in vaginitis. besides isolation of the organism by culture, two alternative diagnostic procedures have been claimed to be useful: the investigation of "clue cells" in clinical specimens and the amine volatilization test or fishy odor perception in genital secretions. herein we report on the findings of the simultaneous use of g. vaginalis isolation, the clue cell test and amine volatilization perception in specim ... | 1985 | 3878365 |
| microbiology of the lower genital tract in postmenarchal adolescent girls: differences by sexual activity, contraception, and presence of nonspecific vaginitis. | the prevalence of selected microorganisms in the lower genital tract in postmenarchal adolescent girls was assessed, including vaginal gardnerella vaginalis, group b streptococcus, lactobacillus, mycoplasma species, ureaplasma urealyticum, staphylococcus aureus, and yeast, and endocervical mycoplasma species, u. urealyticum, chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, and trichomonas vaginalis. specific attention was focused on important sexually transmitted disease organisms, and differences ... | 1985 | 3877803 |
| vaginal discharge and gardnerella vaginalis. predisposing factors. | a total of 284 women in the reproductive years with vaginal discharge from which only gardnerella vaginalis (gv) had been isolated, entered a questionnaire study on the possible causal relation between presence of gv and type of menstrual hygiene, type of contraception, number of deliveries, infertility and number of sexual partners. a control group consisted of 225 women without vaginal discharge. the study showed that patients with gv significantly more frequently used tampons for menstrual hy ... | 1985 | 3877329 |

| phagocytosis and killing of gardnerella vaginalis by human neutrophils. | gardnerella vaginalis was ingested and killed by neutrophils in the presence of normal human serum. heat inactivation of the serum inhibited these processes. the opsonisation of some but not all g vaginalis strains was enhanced by immune rabbit serum. immune serum did not, however, enhance intracellular killing. blockade of the classical pathway of complement activation had no effect on the opsonic activity of human serum. these results suggest that the opsonisation, phagocytosis, and killing of ... | 1985 | 3874884 |
