Sniff test and clue cells were positive in 100% of cases, 66.7% had gram-negative bacilli of 2+ or more, 94.9% had 1+ or less of lactobacilli, lactobacilli IIb accounted for 51.3%, grade III 23.1%. Classification of microorganisms according to Nugent had 59% from 4-6 points and 41% from 7-10 points.
