Item Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis(2010-10-29) Stellmaker, MichaelBacterial vaginosis is a very common disease that has a high rate of recurrence. It is associated with an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, complications of pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and relationship problems. Metronidazole is the standard treatment for bacterial vaginosis, and is effective at alleviating symptoms, but not recurrence. Suppressive treatment exists to prolong the time to recurrence of infection. However, once suppressive therapy is stopped, recurrence is as common as in control groups. Further studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics and other proposed treatments.Item Treatment Options for Trichomonas vaginalis(2008-02-05) Hagstrom, LindseyTinidazole, in a single-dose, is demonstrated to be equally efficacious in treatment of vaginal infections when compared with Metronidazole in seven-day dose. These conclusions are results of a randomized-controlled trial with the resolution of symptoms and eradication of disease on physical examination and laboratory results as the primary outcomes.
