A new study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases assessed the probability of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in women having vaginitis symptoms. In this study, women from whom samples were collected for vaginitis diagnosis, were assessed for the incidence of STIs. Here, positivity rates for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis DNA, were calculated. The results showed that women with bacterial vaginosis alone or with concurrent Candida spp. infection had high rates of sexually transmitted infections (24.4%-25.7%). Whereas, women who were negative for vaginitis had significantly lower positivity rates (7.9%). The findings confirmed results of previous studies and indicated that women with vaginitis symptoms may be at risk for STIs. It was stated that molecular testing could provide broad diagnostic coverage for symptomatic women and improve patient management.
