Bacterial and Fungal Profiles in Mixed Vaginitis Versus Bacterial Vaginosis

This study aimed to compare the clinical and microbiological characteristics of women with bacterial vaginosis (BV) alone versus those with mixed vaginitis (MV), which includes BV and Candida infection. The findings revealed that MV was associated with symptoms like itching and discharge, while BV was often asymptomatic and linked to specific anaerobic bacteria. Additionally, the study highlighted the prevalence of lactobacilli in MV and identified Candida albicans as the predominant fungus in this group.
