AB A  39-year-old  woman  presented  to  her  physician  with  a  malodorous  vaginal  discharge.  On  exam,  a  thin  white  discharge  was  seen  covering  the  introitus  (Figure  82-1).  A  speculum  exam  revealed  a  thin  whitish  gray  discharge  and  a  distinct  fishy  odor.  The  pH  of  the  discharge  was  4.6,  and  40%  of  the  epithelial  cells  on  her  wet  prep  were  clue  cells  (Figure  82-2).  She  was  diagnosed  with  bacterial  vaginosis  and  treated  with  oral  metronidazole.
