Abstract
Gardnerella vaginitis is one of the most common diagnoses in our outpatient clinic. From January 1, 1989 through July 30, 1989 we had 230 positive cultures for G. vaginitis. Eighty-three compliant patients in this group had unabated symptoms with documented positive cultures for Gardnerella after treatment with metronidazole. This led to the use of alternative regimens of ceftriaxone or clindamycin. A survey of antibiotic choice and post-treatment culture obtained 103 entries from 34 active duty women soldiers and 60 women dependents. This paper presents the results of the survey after an introduction beginning with a 1953 article in U.S. Armed Forces Medical Journal.
