Highlights
We report here the finding of a previously unreported large spirochete-like bacterium in Gram smears of vaginal secretions from two patients with bacterial vaginosis
The attending pediatrician took a sample of the vaginal secretions and observed some Enterobius vermicularis in the anal region
Spirillar bacteria have been previously reported in the colon mucosal surface or in feces from patients with diarrhea [5], but those agents have been visualized only under dark field or phase contrast microscopy, since they were too thin to be observed using the brightness light microscope
Summary
We report here the finding of a previously unreported large spirochete-like bacterium in Gram smears of vaginal secretions from two patients with bacterial vaginosis. The second case was a 8 year-old-girl with a vaginal secretion and discomfort. The attending pediatrician took a sample of the vaginal secretions and observed some Enterobius vermicularis in the anal region.
