TL;DRAbstract

Among micro-organisms infecting vagina whose dominant genus is GV anaerobic bacteria are often present. There are reports that GV infections of vagina and uterine cervix, apart from their well-known negative role in obstetrics practice can play a role in carcinogenic processes of uterine cervix. The aim of the study was to assess characteristic colposcopy images of cervix in women with Gardnerella vaginalis infection. The research was carried out on 1180 women hospitalised in the period of 14 months. Many observations lead to conclusions that pathognomic clinic feature of Gardnerella vaginalis infection of uterine cervix is visible in colposcope presence of clean, translucent mucus in external cervical os and opaque vaginal contents in the rear vaginal vault.

Gardnerella vaginalis infection of vagina and uterine cervix concerns women with existing erosion-
