Abstract:
Vulvo-vaginal infections are frequently encountered by gynecologists and general practitioners. The diagnosis and the recurrence of these affections must lead to a discussion about sexually transmitted disease, notably when trichomonas vaginalis and herpetic infections are found. Even if they do not correspond to classical sexually transmitted diseases, their prevalence is increased by sexual intercourses reports and the number of partners which should also be treated. It is necessary to document the responsible germs, even in case of recurrence as more and more resistance to usual treatments are found together with the appearance of new germs like Candida glabrata.
