In 51 cases (25.7%) none of the above microorganisms or bacterial vaginosis were detected. In 30 cases (15.1%) bacterial vaginosis was diagnosed. Frequency of detection was: Ureaplasma urealyticum, 49,5%; Candida spp., 34,3%; Mycoplasma hominis, 14.1%; Streptococcus agalactie, 4.5%; Trichomonas vaginalis, 3.5%; Chlamydia trachomatis, 2.5%.
