Bacterial Vaginosis Case Studies

With identification of the condition, it can easily be treated with antibiotics. If the condition is difficult to treat, a sample can be taken to identify the causative agent, allergy testing, assess for diabetes, refer to urologist or skin specialist.

Chlamydia testing is quick, easy and painless. A urine sample is the most common method of testing for infection with chlamydia. It is also possible to have a swab test. This involves wiping a sterile cotton swab around the infected area (usually the genitals, although it may be the rectum, mouth or eyes in a small number of cases). The tests are extremely reliable when carried out by a doctor or nurse at a clinic, and will detect the vast majority of chlamydia cases.

Take your antibiotic medicine as told by your health care provider. Do not stop taking the antibiotic even if you start to feel better. Incomplete treatment will put you at risk of not being able to have children (sterility).

Chlamydia trachomatis generally runs an asymptomatic course in appropriately 80% of women (Taylor, & Haggerty, 2011). Right now The CDC and US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommend routine screening of all non-pregnant sexually active women aged 25 years and 24 years or younger (Shaw, Coleman, O'Sullivan, & Stephens, 2011). There two test that you can women to test for chlamydia in a clinical setting. One way is using a small cotton bud is gently wiped over the area that might be infected, such as inside the vagina or inside the anus or urinating into a container (). This currently available for young women anywhere in the United

“Silent “ infection is what chlamydia is known for because most people who get infected show no signs or evidence and can fall short of the physical examination findings when it comes to the disease. Halberstaedter and Von Prowazek first discovered chlamydia in 1907. These two came together that led to the discovery of chlamydial disease, which was observed in the mucus membrane of the front eye of an infected orangutan. However, over the last hundreds years with all the up coming studies about chlamydia we are able to

The most common sexually transmitted infection is Chlamydia. About three million people are infected yearly (Shoquist & Stafford, 2004). It is especially common among teens and young adults. As is the case with many sexually transmitted infections, Chlamydia often has no symptoms and over half of the people infected have no idea they have anything to worry about (Shoquist & Stafford, 2004). Chlamydia can infect the genitals, eyes, and throat (Friedman & Skancke, 2009). Symptoms, when present, include painful or burning urination, discolored discharge, and uncomfortable swelling (Sutton, 2006). If Chlamydia is left untreated, it can lead to the inability to produce offspring in both males and females (Shoquist & Stafford, 2004).

have the infection. However, there is a small percentage of woman who have BV reoccur after

Female Genital System: No discharge, itching, sores, lumps. Patient had her menstruation was 2 weeks ago normal menstruation.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is second most common vaginal infection after bacterial vaginosis (BV) (Al-Ahmadey and Mohamed 2014). It is diagnosed in up to 40% of women with vaginal complaints in the primary care setting (Pereira et al. 2012). Nevertheless, it is estimated that 3 out of 4 women are likely to endure at least one episode of VVC in their lifetime. Moreover, about 5% of those women can suffer from recurrent infections (Bruno et al. 2015).

Vulvovaginitis: If you develop an infection or excessive inflammation of the vagina or vulva tissues, you can be diagnosed with a common condition called vulvovaginitis. This condition has a number of causes, including poor hygiene, bacteria, viruses, yeasts and sexually transmitted diseases. Symptoms of vulvovaginitis can include vaginal itching and inflammation, abnormal vaginal discharge, urinary discomfort or unpleasant vaginal odor. Treatment of this condition typically involves the use of antifungal or antibiotic medications (oral or

Trichomoniasis is a type of STD that you get from a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It is mainly common in women but can also be found in men. The protozoan is very tiny, ranging from approximately 7 to 15 mm, and cannot be seen with the human eye but the size may vary. It appears to be more oval shaped but of course can change to certain conditions. The parasite has a unique structure with five flagella helping with movement, one of them inside the membrane helping with direction. Its cytoskeleton is made up of two main fibers, tubulin and actin which also help with the movement. The nucleus is actually located near the head of the parasite. The axostyle ,which is a thin structure that looks like a rod, starts at the nucleus cutting

The bacteria that was contained within Unknown tube #12 is believed to be Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Figure 1. The bacteria tested to be Gram Stain negative, producing a pink, red color retained from the staining process. When the species of bacteria was plated on nutrient media, the cells produced an irregular and spreading configuration as shown in Figure 2. This same plating test provided the margins and elevation, lobate and hilly, respectively. The specimen was stabbed in a Fluid Thioglycollate Medium (FTM) tube using an inoculated loop of the bacteria. The results of this experimentation indicate the type of oxygen requirement of the bacteria. The test found the bacteria to be aerobic as colonies of the bacteria began to form along the top of the FTM tube (Manual 2017).

Other vaginal infections such as bacterial Vaginosis; common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis; Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections that cause genital warts and can lead to cervical cancer; Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

“Bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal infection caused by a replacement of the normal vaginal lactobacilli by an overgrowth of microorganisms”. A high concentration of unhealthy microorganisms associated with bacterial vaginosis along with a decreased level of beneficial lactobacilli results in the vaginal infection. This disease occurs when the vagina has more harmful bacteria than good bacteria. Without enough of good bacteria in the vagina, there is too much bad bacteria. Bacterial vaginosis is not known as a classic sexual transmitted infection. “Bacterial vaginosis is not dangerous, but it can cause disturbing symptoms. If bacterial vaginosis is left untreated it can raise the risk of sexually transmitted infections. Bacterial vaginosis could also cause problems during pregnancy.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is one of the most prevalent vaginal infections and represents, approximately 40%–50% of all cases of infectious vulvovaginitis [22]. The prevalence of RVVC among childbearing women and its importance as an Egyptian public health problem make an interest to continue research on such cases to add deep knowledge on RVVC and to understand the behavior of its pathogen and its epidemiology within Egyptian patients [23]. RVVC and its control by MBL was studied previously, but unfortunately none of the published papers discussed such cases in Egyptian patients. In an attempt to fill this gap, this study was designed on 118 childbearing Egyptian women to find out new therapeutic strategy for RVVC.
