This retrospective study included Chinese females with vaginitis admitted at the outpatient department of the Gynecology Clinic of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between January 2013 and June 2013. Data on the vaginal pathogens and inflammation were analyzed.
The vaginal secretions from 15,601 gynecologic outpatients were abnormal, including 8547 (54.78%) with vaginal infection and 7054 (45.22%) without. In patients with vaginal infections, a single infection was observed in 69.72% (5959/8547) of them, and mixed infection was observed in 30.28% (2588/8547). The differences in age and inflammation grade between the infection and no-infection groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). In addition, multiple types of vaginitis could be diagnosed in patients with mixed infections.
About half of the Chinese women with abnormal vaginal secretions are positive for pathogens in the study period. Patients\' age and inflammation grade are associated with co-infection. From the public health perspective, this study suggests that the importance of vaginal hygiene should be enforced in Chinese women.
方法:回顾性研究纳入2013年1月至2013年6月昆明医科大学第二附属医院妇科门诊收治的中国女性阴道炎患者。对阴道病原体和炎症数据进行分析。
结果:15,601名妇科门诊患者的阴道分泌物异常,包括8547例(54.78%)阴道感染和7054例(45.22%)无阴道感染。在阴道感染的患者中,其中69.72%(5959/8547)出现单一感染,混合感染占30.28%(2588/8547)。感染组和未感染组的年龄和炎症分级差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.001)。此外,混合感染患者可以诊断为多种类型的阴道炎。
结论:在研究期间,约有一半的阴道分泌物异常的中国女性为病原体阳性。患者年龄和炎症等级与合并感染相关。从公共卫生的角度来看,这项研究表明,中国女性应重视阴道卫生.
