Abstract
The value of culturing all vaginal discharges can not be overemphasized. Hemolytic streptococcal vaginitis has been misdiagnosed as gonococcal vaginitis when only a direct smear of the discharge has been utilized for diagnostic purposes. Hemolytic str. are frequently found in the nasopharynx of those children with hemolytic streptococcal vaginitis. In those instances where grouping and typing of the streptococci from both the vagina and the nasopharynx were done, the same group and the same type were found in both places.Keywords
