Abstract

For the purpose of determining an objective indicator of bacterial vaginosis (BV), we tried to detect and to identify amines in the vaginal fluid of patients by using the dansyl method (to detect amine in a solution of water). Bacteria isolated from these patients were also analyzed. 1) In BV (n: 32) 7 kinds of amines were detected; and the positive rate of detection of the dansyl method was 90.6%. No specific bacteria was found in BV. 2) The positive rate was 80.0% for the patients with trichomonas vaginitis (n: 5). 3) The positive rate of detection was 20.0% in the candida group (n: 5), and 28.6% in the control group (n: 14). Those amines detected in other than BV-related vaginitis are presumed not to vaporize. For purposes of diagnosis, it would be better to detect vaporized amines instead of detecting amines dissolved in vaginal fluid.
