    Author: Ternai A, Kulcsár G, Dán P, Pataki I, Veszelovszky I, Nász I.
    Journal: Acta Microbiol Hung; 1987; 34(3-4):215-8. PubMed ID: 2834906.
    Abstract:
    Gynaecological cancer screening was supplemented with examination of the vaginal microflora and pH in women suffering from vaginal discharge and/or colpitis. In alkaline samples Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans and, in cervical epithelial cells, herpes simplex virus antigen were of common occurrence, while in samples with acid reaction Trichomonas and, in cervical cells mainly from pregnant women, adenovirus antigen were often detected. Since vaginal pH may be informative of the pathogenic agent(s), its estimation by a rapid, simple and painless procedure, like litmus paper reaction, is recommended.
