Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: A multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled study. Women with vaginal discharge and diagnosed as suffering from vaginitis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, bacterial vaginosis or Candida albicans, or any combination of the three, and who had not received treatment for vaginitis during the previous month, were studied. RESULTS: 165 patients were enrolled into the study--84 into the combined therapy group, and 81 into the clotrimazole group. In women with Candida vaginitis, Clo-Met was more effective than clotrimazole treatment (p < 0.012 and p < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION:
