Bacterial vaginosis: an update on diagnosis and treatment.
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy 2009 November
Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginal complaints. Bacterial vaginosis is further associated with a sizeable burden of infectious complications. Diagnosis relies on standardized clinical criteria or on scoring bacterial cell morphotypes on a Gram-stained vaginal smear. A few point-of-care tests have not gained footage in clinical practice, but molecular diagnosis is now pending. Treatment remains cumbersome and clinicians are currently rather poorly armed to treat bacterial vaginosis in the long run. As an adjuvant to standard treatment with antibiotics, alternative treatments with antiseptics and disinfectants, vaginal-acidifying and -buffering agents, and probiotics hold some promise for long-term prevention.
