摘要
细菌性阴道病是导致育龄妇女阴道出现异常分泌物最常见的原因。此综合征的病因不明，临床症状特点为阴道正常的乳酸杆菌过度减少及厌氧菌群的过度增生伴阴道正常酸度的破坏。在1983年的一次国际研讨会上，将其命名为“细菌性阴道病”，并取代了其旧名“加德纳菌性阴道炎”。这表明，对于本病“存在着大量的或者是条件性的厌氧菌群，并且缺乏典型的炎症体征”这一点已达成了共识。
Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of child-bearing age. It is a syndrome of unknown cause characterized by depletion of the normal Lactobacillus population and an overgrowth of vaginal anaerobes, accompanied by loss of the usual vaginal acidity. The term ＇bacterial vaginosis＇ was agreed at an international symposium in 1983, replacing the older term ＂Gardnerella vaginitis＇. This recognized the fact that many anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria are present and that classical signs of inflammation are absent.
