Fifteen male patients from whose urine samples Gardnerella vaginalis was isolated (clinical incidence of 0.1%) were evaluated for clinical signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection and modality of acquisition of the organism. Ten of 15 (67%) patients were symptomatic or had signs of inflammation as manifested by an increased number of urinary neutrophils. One patient had two bouts of infection caused by this organism which required two courses of antibiotic therapy. Colonies of diphtheroidlike organisms found in urine cultures should not be ignored as insignificant but should be further investigated to determine whether G. vaginalis is present.
对从其尿液样本中分离出阴道加德纳菌的15名男性患者(临床发病率为0.1%)进行了尿路感染临床体征和症状以及该生物体获取方式的评估。15名患者中有10名(67%)有症状或有炎症迹象,表现为尿中性粒细胞数量增加。1名患者发生了由该生物体引起的两次感染发作,需要两个疗程的抗生素治疗。尿培养中发现的类白喉样生物体菌落不应被视为无足轻重而被忽视,而应进一步调查以确定是否存在阴道加德纳菌。
