The utility of Amsel's criteria for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis in asymptomatic pregnant women was evaluated. Vaginal secretion samples were taken from 90 women who were treated at the San Conrado Parochial Medical Center between December 27, 2014, and February 10, 2015. Amsel's criteria were applied as a clinical diagnostic method, considering the presence of homogeneous vaginal discharge, a pH > 4.5, a positive amine test, and the presence of clue cells. Additionally, vaginal secretion cultures were performed on all patients. The results showed that 8.9% of asymptomatic pregnant women had a positive culture for Gardnerella vaginalis, with isolation associated with 61.1% of patients with a pH > 4.5, 11.1% with a positive amine test, and 11.1% with clue cells.
