The workup for patients with vaginitis depends on the risk factors for infection and the age of the patient. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Regular monitoring of vitamin B-12 status is thus potentially beneficial for early detection and treatment of metabolic vitamin B-12 deficiency in vegans, and possibly for prevention of atherosclerosis-related diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

What is the treatment? The treatment is based entirely on the diagnosis. For each one of the conditions above, a different treatment is prescribed. Infection – usually an antibiotic or antifungal treatment. [issvd.org]

Treatment A variety of organisms and conditions can cause vaginitis, so treatment targets the specific cause: Bacterial vaginosis. [mayoclinic.org]

The incidence is 9% in whites and 16% in Hispanics. [4] Prognosis Overall, the prognosis is very good: most of those infected are cured. However, recurrent vaginal infections can lead to chronic irritation, excoriation, and scarring. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Although the prognosis of meningitis is good, encephalitis and myelitis often result in sequelae, and a delay in the initiation of acyclovir treatment leads to poor prognosis. [intechopen.com]

Despite encountering VZV infections in patients with worse expected prognosis, the OS in patients who developed VZV infection was superior to that in patients who never developed the infection [19]. [heighpubs.org]

There is considerable evidence that neural hypoxia, secondary to impaired endoneurial microcirculatory perfusion, is a crucial etiologic factor in diabetic neuropathy; the unfavorable impact of diabetes on hemorheology would be expected to exacerbate [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Approximately 90% of all cases of vaginitis are thought to be attributable to 3 causes: bacterial vaginosis, vaginal candidiasis (or vulvovaginal candidiasis [VVC]), and Trichomonas vaginalis infection (trichomoniasis). [emedicine.medscape.com]

EPIDEMIOLOGY: Varicella-zoster infections occur worldwide. Varicella/chickenpox is more common in temperate climates than in tropical countries. [canada.ca]

Pathophysiology A complex and intricate balance of microorganisms maintains the normal vaginal flora. Important organisms include lactobacilli, corynebacteria, and yeast. [emedicine.medscape.com]
