A clinical and quantitative microbiological study was performed on 32 women with fishy odour of the vaginal fluid. This odour could be intensified by the addition of one drop of 10% potassium hydroxide. Clue cells were found to be present in all cases. Gardnerella vaginalis was isolated from the vaginal fluid in 97%, and large quantities of mixed anaerobes in 100% of the patients. The therapy with metronidazole, 400 mg twice daily for 5 days, was successful in 22 out of 24 patients. After therapy the fishy odour and the clue cells were no longer detectable. G. vaginalis and anaerobes could only be isolated sporadically and in small quantities. The isolation rate of Lactobacillus species increased from 3% to 86% within one week.
对32名阴道分泌物有鱼腥味的女性进行了一项临床和定量微生物学研究。加入一滴10%氢氧化钾后，这种气味会加重。所有病例均发现线索细胞。97%的患者阴道分泌物中分离出阴道加德纳菌，100%的患者分离出大量混合厌氧菌。24例患者中有22例采用甲硝唑治疗，每日两次，每次400mg，共5天，治疗成功。治疗后，鱼腥味和线索细胞不再可检测到。阴道加德纳菌和厌氧菌只能偶尔少量分离出来。乳酸杆菌属的分离率在一周内从3%增加到86%。
