“…Pathological discharge is excess of normal which may be leucorrhoea or physiological excessive discharge from cervix and vagina [7][8] . It may be due to infections like vulvovaginitis due to trichomoniasis, moniliasis, bacterial vaginosis, cervicitis 9 . It may be also due to some local causes due to myomatous polyp, cervical ectropion or tear, genital malignancy, fistulae 10 .…”

Background: Vaginal discharge is a common gynaecological problem worldwide. It is a common presentation of different gynaecological diseases. Objective: The aim of the study was to find out the aetiological factors responsible for vaginal discharge among the women presented with cervical pathology. Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out in patients complaining of vaginal discharge attending at Gynaecology department (GOPD) in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka from March'2006 to October'2006. Required tests were carried out in the Department of Microbiology and Department of Pathology at Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. Data were obtained by history taking, physical examination and relevant investigations. Results: Cervical pathology was associated in 64.0% of patients complaining of vaginal discharge. Out of these, most common are cervicitis (48.0%) carcinoma of cervix (8.0%) cervical erosion (4.0%) endocervical polyp (2.0%) and old cervical tear (2.0%). Other associated aetiologies of abnormal vaginal discharge were bacterial vaginosis (12.0%) candidiasis (10.0%) trichomoniasis (10.0%). Conclusion:Vaginal discharge is a manifestation of many cervical pathology including carcinoma. Therefore, proper evaluation is needed in all patients complaining of vaginal discharge before treatment. [J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, 2013;5(1):31-34]

“…Gonococcal disease is important because it is a common cause ofsalpingitis and female infertility (4). Under conditions that are still not well understood, the organism may leave mucous membranes (such as the endocervix) and infect the epithelial cells of the fallopian tubes.…”

“…Indeed, through competition for molecular oxygen gonococci may prevent neutrophil generation of oxidants (see below, and Fig. 3), and help to generate a strict anaerobic environment, thereby potentiating growth of obligate anaerobes (e.g., Bacteroides species) recovered from the fallopian tubes of women with salpingitis (4). Gonococci adapt to anaerobic conditions through the use of nitrite as a terminal electron acceptor (22,47,48).…”
