Title:Mixed Vaginitis Clinical
Recommendations
Abstract:Mixed
vaginitis is caused by the simultaneous presence of at least two vaginal
pathogens, contributing to an abnormal vaginal milieu and leading to
vaginal symptoms and signs. However, associations between symptoms
and microbes have not been clearly
elucidated. Therefore, mixed vaginitis is an inflammatory condition that
remains underrecognized.
Mixed
vaginitis generally involves the
formation of mixed biofilms. The specific characteristics of mixed
biofilms, especially their enhanced drug resistance and their ability to
evade components of the host immune response, make them of high clinical
importance. This review summarizes the relevant clinical data to improve
clinical knowledge about mixed
vaginitis.
Key words: Mixed Vaginitis,
Candida, Bacterial vaginosis, Trichomoniasis, Aerobic vaginitis, Mixed
biofilms
