GOOD MORNING FRIENDS.A short post before going to work.BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS, is usually an easily treatable condition,as mentioned in my previous post about bacterial vaginosis.It usually responds promptly to a course of metronidazole.
But in some instances relapses are seen after a course of metronidazole.In many of these cases co-infection with a recently recognised bacteria atopobium vaginae or yeast[candida albicans] is seen.
Atopobium vaginae is a recently recognised bacteria that has been shown to have a causative role in relapsing bacterial vaginosis.This bacteria is difficult to diagnose, and the problem is it is resistent to metronidazole,the commonly used drug for bacterial vaginosis.Although it is sensitive to treatment with clindamicin,ampicillin/sulbactum,imipenem,meropenem etc.Usually clindamycin is used.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR OR LOCAL HEALTH-CARE PROVIDER.
