A drop of KOH (potassium hydroxide 10%) added to a saline wet prep slide aids in diagnosis in two ways. A) A strong fishy (amine) odor to the solution may indicate bacterial vaginosis. B) KOH dissolves the cell walls of epithelial cells but does not dissolve the …

BV is a vaginal dysbiosis resulting from replacement of normal hydrogen peroxide and lactic-acid–producing Lactobacillus species in the vagina with high concentrations of anaerobic bacteria, including G. vaginalis, Prevotella species, Mobiluncus species, A. vaginae, and other BV-associated bacteria.

2016年8月23日 · 在因外因瘙痒及白带恶臭就诊的女性患者中，细菌性阴道病（Bacterial Vaginosis，BV）是主要病因，但大部分细菌性阴道病患者并无明显的临床症状。 那么，什么是细菌性阴道病？

2000年9月1日 · The diagnosis of vaginitis is based on the patient's symptoms, the physical examination, the findings of microscopic examination of the wet-mount and KOH preparations, and the results of the pH...

The whiff test involves a 10 per cent mixture of potassium hydroxide (KOH) mixed into vaginal secretions that reacts with amines in your fluids and then smells fishy if bacterial vaginosis (BV) (involving certain bacteria) is present.

Whiff Test: fishy odor with 10% KOH prep; CDC recommends testing all women with BV for HIV and other STDs ; Diagnosis. Amsel criteria (3/4 must be present) Homogeneous, thin, gray-white discharge; Positive whiff test; Vaginal pH>4.5; Clue cells on wet mount (at least 20% of epithelial cells) Management. No need to treat if asymptomatic

What is new in the 2012 guidelines? This guideline offers recommendations on diagnosis, treatment regimens and health promotion principles needed for the effective management of bacterial vaginosis (BV) covering the management of the initial presentation, and recurrence.

The potassium hydroxide (KOH) “whiff” test is used in the clinical diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). Performing the “whiff” test involves placing 0.25 to 0.5 mL of 10% potassium hydroxide onto a slide. Vaginal secretions are collected onto a swab which is then dipped into the solution on the slide and the mixture is tested for amine odour.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal discharge among reproductive-age women. It is associated with multiple adverse health outcomes, including increased risk of acquisition of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections ...

混合性阴道炎（mixed vaginitis）是由两种或两种以上的致病微生物导致的阴道炎症。 混合性阴道炎患者阴道微生态平衡严重破坏，微生态表现更加复杂多样化，较单一阴道感染诊治更加困难，若混合感染未得到及时、正确的诊治，易导致治疗失败和感染反复发作。 对混合性阴道炎及阴道微生态的全面正确认识，有助于阴道炎症正确诊断和合理治疗。 对防止混合感染的复发，改善女性阴道微生态健康等有重要意义。 流行病学. 混合性阴道炎在临床上比较常见，在阴道感染性疾病中 …
