“…The normal vaginal microbiota is formed by several aerobic, anaerobic and facultative bacteria, being highlighted in the literature as an important protective factor against pathogens in the genital tract, and carries important reproductive function defense mechanisms, as it prevents multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms (Klebanoff and Coombs, 1991;Resende et al, 2019). Modifications in the vaginal microbiota can cause cervicovaginal infections accompanied by an abundant, homogeneous, grayish white, non-purulent vaginal discharge, with an extremely unpleasant odor, known as bacterial vaginoses (Gallo and Fabião, 2016).…”

“…Some studies have demonstrated the importance of the Pap smear method for the diagnosis of vaginal infection causing agents (Aragão et al, 2019;Matos-Rocha, 2019;Xavier et al, 2019;Resende et al, 2019).

Urinary tract infections are responsible for most human infections, these are caused by bacteria, fungi, protozoa and associated microorganisms. The goal of this study was to determine the rate of vaginal infection-causing agents in routine cytological exams and also to evaluate the characteristics of positive tested Pap smears. A retrospective documental with descriptive aspect research was performed in a Clinical Pathology laboratory from Maceió-AL. The results of the Pap smears exams for Trichomonas vaginalis, Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida spp and HPV were arranged in a database as well as other data such as bacterial, protozoan, fungal and viral coinfections. The sample was composed by 18.645 women who have undergone Pap smear exams from 2013 to 2017. Of these analyzed exams, 27.4% in 2013, 10.9% in 2014, 10.6% in 2015, 15.2% in 2016 and 13.67% in 2017 were within normal range, however more than half of these exams presented some infections caused by unspecific or microbiological agents. By analyzing all the reports, 4.073 (21.84%) presented inflammations caused by some species of infectious agent with the following rate order: G. vaginalis and T. vaginalis. Furthermore, it was possible to confirm high rates of coinfection by and Candida spp. The rate of genital infections in this study highlights that there is a public health matter that must be controlled, which points a greater need for monitoring, guidance and actions towards greater awareness in order to prevent these problems.

“…Thus, this infection is considered the most prevalent curable STI in the world, showing a peak in the 30-39 age group, with a cosmopolitan distribution among women and men, and in all socioeconomic and racial groups (4) .Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal secretion in women of reproductive age (5) . In Brazil, its prevalence ranges from 18.4 to 36.0% (6)(7)(8) . Although it is not considered an STI, it shares risk factors with these infections, such as a higher frequency in sexually active women with multiple sexual partners (9) .…”

Introduction: Bacterial vaginosis and vaginal trichomoniasis are frequent causes of health care demand. Objective: To estimate the prevalence, identify associated factors, and investigate the performance of diagnostic tests for bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis. Methods: Cross-sectional study with participants over 18 years old. All of them were submitted to an interview and gynecological examination with evaluation of vaginal secretion, pH verification, collection of material for Pap smear, wet mount test, Whiff test, bacterioscopy, and polymerase chain reaction for trichomoniasis detection. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify associated factors with bacterial vaginosis. Diagnostic performance for bacterial vaginosis was evaluated following Amsel criteria, the Ison and Hay score, and the Pap smear, considering the Nugent score as the gold standard. As for trichomoniasis, diagnostic performance was evaluated through the Pap smear and the wet mount test, using the polymerase chain reaction as the gold standard. Results: The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was 33.7%, and for trichomoniasis, 0.5%. The complaint of abnormal vaginal secretion was associated with the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (odds ratio 2.2). The diagnostic accuracy by Amsel criteria, the Ison and Hay score, and the Pap smear was 35.6, 97.0, and 84.2%, respectively. The sensitivity for trichomoniasis through wet mount test was 0.0%, and through the Pap smear, 100%. Conclusion: The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was high, and trichomoniasis was low. The only associated factor with bacterial vaginosis was the report of abnormal vaginal secretion. The methods with the most accurate diagnostic performance for bacterial vaginosis were the Ison and Hay score and the Pap smear and, for trichomoniasis, the Pap smear.

The bacterial microbiota in the vagina of a healthy woman of reproductive age is dominated by lactobacilli (Wójkowska-Mach et al, 2021).…”
