A study was carried out on 200 patients divided in two groups of 100, labeled 1 and 2. They underwent vaginal secretion tests by the direct method in order to assess its appropriateness for Gardnerella vaginalis presumptive diagnosis. This study was related with patients' symptoms, such as leukorrhea and fetidity prevailing in Group 1 and lower abdomen pain prevailing in Group 2, as well as the proportions of germs isolated and the association with this symptom for defining the microorganism role in the occurrence of so-called unspecific vaginitis; Group 1 had 100% of positive plates and Group 2 had 55%, who were given adequate treatment for the couple with further confirmation of the results which were effective in 96.7% of the cases. No relation could be seen between IUD and the presence of germ, since it is likely that its existence was not taken into account on inserting IUD.
