Abstract
A total of 1,008 women attending a public clinic for pregnancy, postpartum care, and gynecologic complaints was studied for the presence of Corynebacterium vaginale (Haemophilus vaginalis). The overall incidence was 18.9%. In the pregnant group, those with vaginitis had an isolation rate of 44.0%, compared with a rate of 10.4% among those without vaginitis. Statistical analyses of the data strongly suggests that C. vaginale is a common causative agent of vaginitis. There is a higher incidence of Corynebacterium vaginale in pregnant women than in nonpregnant women.
