Treatment of Hemophilus vaginalis Vaginitis

From the Departments of Microbiology and of Obstetrics and Gynecology, St.-Francois d' Assise Hospital, Quebec, Quebec, Canada

Abstract

Four antimicrobial agents (triple sulfa cream, doxycycline, ampicillin, and metronidazole) were studied by doubleblind techniques to determine their effectiveness in the treatment of Hemophilus vaginalis vaginitis, documented by vaginal culture in 96 patients. Cure was confirmed by negative vaginal cultures 7 weeks after the start of therapy. Metronidazole proved to be effective in 20 of 22 couples (90.9% ) treated. Sulfa cream, doxycycline, and ampicillin were effective in 47.8 to 63.6% of patients treated.
