This study investigated common pathogens associated with leucorrhoea, finding significant links between Ureaplasma urealyticum, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Actinomyces with the condition. These findings highlight key microbial culprits in leucorrhoea for better diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Leucorrhoea is a common gynecological complaint with diverse etiologies.
  • Identifying specific pathogens is crucial for effective management and preventing complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and quantify the prevalence of various microbial agents in women with leucorrhoea.
  • To compare the occurrence of pathogens and clinical symptoms between leucorrhoea cases, normal women, and patients attending STD and gynecology clinics.

Main Methods:

  • Microbiological analysis of vaginal samples to detect pathogens like Trichomonas vaginalis, N. gonorrhoeae, C. albicans, U. urealyticum, Actinomyces, C. trachomatis, and others.
  • Statistical analysis to determine significant associations between specific microorganisms and leucorrhoea, as well as differences between clinical groups.

Main Results:

  • Ureaplasma urealyticum, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Actinomyces showed significant associations with leucorrhoea.
  • Exclusive presence of Trichomonas vaginalis, N. gonorrhoeae, and C. albicans in some leucorrhoea cases.
  • Higher prevalence of urethral syndrome and vaginal irritation in STD clinic patients compared to gynecology cases.

Conclusions:

  • Ureaplasma urealyticum, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Actinomyces are strongly associated with leucorrhoea.
  • Specific pathogens like N. gonorrhoeae and Trichomonas vaginalis are notable in STD clinic settings.
  • Microbial profiling is essential for understanding and managing leucorrhoea effectively.
