In April 2015, the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases hosted an experts technical consultation on bacterial vaginosis (BV), where data regarding controversies over the pathogenesis of BV were discussed. The discussion on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of BV is presented here, and several hypotheses on its pathogenesis are critiqued. Rigorous hypothesis-driven studies are needed to ultimately determine the cause of BV. This information is vital for the prevention and control of this important infection and its adverse public health consequences.
2015年4月,美国国立过敏与传染病研究所微生物学与传染病司主办了一次关于细菌性阴道病(BV)的专家技术磋商会,会上讨论了有关BV发病机制争议的数据。本文介绍了关于BV流行病学和发病机制的讨论,并对其发病机制的几种假说进行了批判。最终确定BV病因需要开展严格的假说驱动研究。这些信息对于预防和控制这种重要感染及其不良公共卫生后果至关重要。
