The pathogens like Trichomonas vaginalis (4.5%), N gonorrhoeae (2.7%) and C albicans (6.7%) were exclusively present in leucorrhoea. The other potential agents with their respective percentages in normal women and cases of leucorrhoea were U urealyticum (21.2% and 50.2%), actinomyces (29.7% and 41.6%), Chlamydia trachomatis (17% and 48.8%), candida-like organisms (CLO) (1.2% and 9.5%) and non-group B streptococci (4.2% and 16.7%). The percentages of urethral syndrome (65.8%), vaginal irritation (63.4%), sore vulva (17%), cervicitis (13.4%), cervical erosion (11%) of the STD clinic were more than those of gynaecological cases. The latter group more often revealed infertility (15.8%) and pelvic inflammatory disease (13.6%). The exclusive isolation rate of N gonorrhoeae (7.3%) and prevalence of G vaginalis (19.5%) and Trichomonas vaginalis (8.5%) in the STD clinic were notable. The cases of gynaecological clinic more commonly showed C albicans (8%) and CLO (13.6%). Significant differences pertaining to U urealyticum (leucorrhoea and inapparent group p < 0.01; leucorrhoea and normal cases p < 0.01), M hominis (leucorrhoea and inapparent group p < 0.05; leucorrhoea and normal cases p < 0.01), Chlamydia trachomatis (leucorrhoea and normal cases p < 0.01) and also actinomyces (leucorrhoea and normal cases p < 0.01; inapparent and normal cases p < 0.05) were recorded. There was conspicuous association of U urealyticum, M hominis, G vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, CLO and actinomyces with leucorrhoea. An almost exclusive presence of Staph aureus, Esch coli and Klebsiella in cases of leucorrhoea appeared meaningful. |
