Vaginal Discharge Assessment form for Utilization by Primary Health Care Workers in a Community Setting

Abstract

WHO) recommends the syndromic management of vaginal discharge, which is treating for some or all of the five common reproductive tract infections: Chlamydia trachomatis infection, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and candidiasis, which can cause abnormal vaginal discharge [4]. The unavailability of laboratory support for use of microscopy, cultures and serology, which are further expensive, in many resource-poor countries, have led to development of the syndromic approach [3].
