A survey of the prevalence of vaginitis and vahinosis comon microbial factors in outpatients and bedridden patients in Lahijan hospitals and health denters during 2003-2004

Vaginitis is among the most common conditions for which women seek medical care, with vaginal discharge accounting for approximately 10 million office visits each year. Although vaginitis can have a variety of causes, it most often is associated with infection or atrophic changes. Common infectious forms of vaginitis include bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis and trichomoniasis. Although these infections generally respond to treatment, misdiagnosis and, rarely, pharmacologic resistance may occur. In this study we examined the prevalence and risk factors of vaginitis of 440 inpatient and outpatient women attending a hospital in Lahijan -north of IRAN during 2003-2004. The traditional diagnosis of vaginitis incorporates patient symptoms, clinical findings observed during vaginal examination, and laboratory analysis of vaginal fluid, as the results of this survey obtained from the 440 subjects in the sample show, the most prevalent cases are: bacterial vaginosis (21.1%), Candida albicans (19.3%) and Trichomonas vaginitis (15.2%).The results also reveal that (61.2%) of the people who suffering from Trichomonas vaginalis (35.3%) of the people who suffer from Candida vaginitis and (37.8%) of the people infected by bacterial vaginosis are above 30 years. Whereas 69.7% of the people suffering from bacterial vaginosis and 38.8% of the people infected by trichomonas vaginitis are below 30 years of ages. A further comparison carried out this survey was between the literate and illiterate and also he employed and unemployed women. The results indicate that the literate and unemployed women were more susceptible to danger. Moreover; the study also investigated the influential factors which might lead to the emergence of the disease.
