Allergic vaginitis, a possibly new syndrome. A case report.

R E Ricer, R M Guthrie

Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

A patient with a long history of recurrent vaginal discharge had no evidence of infection. A temporal relation between the appearance of the discharge and vaginal exposure to topical spermicidal agents was determined. Examination of the vaginal discharge revealed an abundance of eosinophils, suggesting a localized intravaginal allergic reaction. This case possibly indicates a hitherto undefined clinical syndrome, allergic vaginitis.
