Bacterial vaginosis and atypical squamous cells in cytological screening public health reference laboratory Sullana, 2019 - 2020
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-11-03) Sandoval Zapata, Jorge Luis; García Vásquez, Carlos Hugo
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection worldwide, affecting the physical and emotional well-being of women and their intimate relationships with their partners. An increase in prevalence has been reported, especially in the northern regions of Peru, making it necessary to strengthen health services for timely detection and treatment. This correlational and descriptive research includes a population of 7,515 women of reproductive age, with a sample of 366 Papanicolaou smears from positive cervical samples. The objective is to identify the association between bacterial vaginosis and atypical squamous cells diagnosed through cytological screening in the Public Health Reference Laboratory of Sullana, 2019-2020. The study aims to detect vaginal infections like Gardnerella vaginalis and pre-malignant lesions like ASC-US and ASC-H, and establish the relationship between bacterial vaginosis and atypical squamous cells in the northern population of Peru, where local and regional studies on this issue are lacking. This could inform strategies for improving reproductive health education, communication, and services.

Characteristics of the vaginal microbiota in asymptomatic sex workers who attend the Hospital Nacional Hipolito Unanue 2020
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-04-07) Sanchez García, Stefany Ingrid; García Vásquez, Carlos Hugo
This research aimed to determine the characteristics of the vaginal microbiota in asymptomatic sex workers attending the National Hospital Hipólito Unanue in Lima in 2020. Our vaginal microbiota helps maintain a healthy vaginal environment, with our lactobacilli preventing the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms. Proper maintenance of vaginal health reduces the risk of contracting diseases, particularly in our at-risk group of asymptomatic sex workers. This study is non-experimental with a quantitative, observational, prospective, cross-sectional descriptive design and a simple design. The study sample consisted of 60 asymptomatic sex workers. The study of vaginal microbiota characteristics revealed the protective capacity of the vaginal microbiota against external agents in our group of asymptomatic sex workers attending the National Hospital Hipólito Unanue in Lima. On average, 46.7% of asymptomatic sex workers tested positive for altered microbiota, including sexually transmitted diseases. It was concluded that the determination of characteristics in the studied asymptomatic sex workers regarding vaginal microbiota showed 45% positivity for diagnoses of vaginosis and vaginitis.

Prevalence of Bacterial Vaginosis in Sex Workers Attending the Tahuantinsuyo Bajo Maternal and Child Health Center. Independencia District. November 2014-March 2015
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Cuevas Quillas, Nancy Giovanna; Pareja Cuadros, Elizabeth Irene
Objective: To determine the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in sex workers attending the Maternal and Child Health Center of Tahuantinsuyo Bajo, District of Independencia, from November 2014 to March 2015. Methods: The research was observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional. The population consisted of 250 sex workers, who gave informed consent and completed an epidemiological form (sociodemographic and sexual history). A vaginal discharge sample was taken, and characteristics of the secretion, amine test, and Gram staining were evaluated for the presence of clue cells. The Amsel criteria were used for diagnosis. Results: Of the sex workers, 52% presented bacterial vaginosis (all with vaginal discharge, positive amine test, and clue cells). The age group with the highest prevalence was 18 to 30 years, accounting for 26.8%. 34.8% of the sex workers with bacterial vaginosis had initiated sexual activity before 20 years old. 26.4% of those with bacterial vaginosis had 6–8 sexual partners per day. Conclusion: 52% of the sex workers presented bacterial vaginosis; the most common age group was 18 to 30 years, the age of sexual debut was younger than 20 years, and the number of sexual partners per day was 6 to 8.

Reevaluation of the cytological diagnosis of bacterian vaginosis and cytolytic vaginosis, public health laboratory, Sullana, 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-10-01) Zapata Cordova, Armando; García Vásquez, Carlos Hugo
Vaginal discomfort in women of reproductive age and sexually active women is commonly caused by bacterial vaginosis (BV), which has a high global prevalence and results from an imbalance in the vaginal ecosystem. Cytolytic vaginosis (CV), also known as Döderlein's cytolysis, is a condition that is not well-known among health professionals. It is characterized by the presence of abundant Lactobacillus, which results from the lysis of the vaginal epithelium. Döderlein's bacilli are part of the vaginal microbiotic barrier, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria. CV causes symptoms similar to BV, such as vaginal discharge, pain, burning, and itching, leading health professionals to confuse the diagnosis and treat it with common antibiotics, which do not improve the patient's condition. In Peru, studies estimating the incidence of bacterial or cytolytic vaginosis have not yet been developed. At the Sullana Public Health Laboratory, cytological evaluations have been conducted as part of the screening program since 2018, and studies on its performance, quality of reading, and the proportion of non-neoplastic and neoplastic findings are being developed. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify the number of findings and the proportion of potentially inaccurate results. The method proposed in this study is the hypothetical-deductive method, as it aims to either reject or accept statements presented in the form of hypotheses, with conclusions compared to the facts. The study design is non-experimental, observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional.

Utility of Amsel's Criteria for the Diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis Caused by Gardnerella Vaginalis in Asymptomatic Pregnant Women Attended at the "San Conrado" Parochial Medical Center between December 27, 2014, and February 10, 2015
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-07) Mori Porras, Gloria Mercedes; Benites Azabache, Juan Carlos
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.
