Vaginitis is the most frequent gynaecologic diagnosis encountered by physician providing primary care to the women. It is defined as inflammation and/or irritation of the vagina, a troublesome condition that affects millions of women in all parts of the world. A total of 50 women of reproductive age within 15-45 years, both pregnant and non-pregnant with abnormal vaginal discharge were enrolled in the study. Vaginal fluid was collected from the patients attending outpatient department of Dhaka Medical College & Hospital. A rapid vaginal immunochromatography kit were used to test the samples for Chlamydia, Trichomonas, Candida and Gardnerellavaginalis along with pH, nitrites, protein and leucocytes. Bacterial vaginitis was diagnosed in 16%, 20% and 18% of the cases using microscopy, culture and rapid vaginal test kit respectively, whereas, was detected in 16%, 8%, 16% by microscopy, culture and rapid vaginal kit respectively in case of bacterial vaginosis. Chlamydia(6.66%) and Trichomonas (6.66%) was detected in the vaginal kit and Candida was detected in 3.33% cases using all three methods. Rapid vaginal kit is a simple, rapid test (result within 10 minutes) and can be used as a point of care test or for screening large number of samples. Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2016; 10 (2): 18-21

Test Result

As antibiotic resistance becomes a growing health emergency, effective strategies are needed to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use. In this article, one such strategy – communicative practices associated with the C-reactive protein point-of care test – is investigated. Building on a collection of 31 videorecorded consultations from Danish primary care, and using conversation analysis, this study finds that the rapid test can be used throughout the consultation to incrementally build the case for a nonantibiotic treatment recommendation, both when the test result is forecast and reported. The study also finds that the format of reports of elevated results differs from that of ‘normal’ results, resulting in a subtle shift of authority from doctor to test.
