Nonspecific vaginitis was present in 37% of 40 patients attending the Special Urology (Sexually Transmitted Disease) Clinic at the Victoria General Hospital, in 23% of 75 patients attending the Family Planning Clinic, and in 23% of 13 patients attending the Prenatal Clinic at the Grace Maternity Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The mean prevalence was 27%. Subjective complaints of vaginal odor were significantly associated with nonspecific vaginitis (P less than .001), but symptoms of vaginal discharge or vulvar irritation and itching were not. No correlations were found between the presence of nonspecific vaginitis and the isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Trichomonas vaginalis, or vaginal yeast species. The organic acid present in vaginal washings that best correlated with the presence of nonspecific vaginitis was succinic acid.
在新斯科舍省哈利法克斯市格蕾丝妇产医院产前诊所就诊的13名患者中，有23%存在非特异性阴道炎；在维多利亚总医院特殊泌尿外科（性传播疾病）诊所就诊的40名患者中，37%存在该病症；在计划生育诊所就诊的75名患者中，23%存在该病症。平均患病率为27%。阴道异味的主观主诉与非特异性阴道炎显著相关（P小于0.001），但阴道分泌物、外阴刺激或瘙痒症状与之无关。未发现非特异性阴道炎的存在与淋病奈瑟菌、沙眼衣原体、人型支原体、解脲脲原体、阴道毛滴虫或阴道酵母菌的分离之间存在相关性。与非特异性阴道炎存在最相关的阴道灌洗液中的有机酸是琥珀酸。
