Bacterial vaginosis
Think: "Take a Whiff and get some Clue of Fishy odour!"
- On Whiff test the vaginal discharge gives a Fishy (amine) odour
- Clue cells are seen on microscopy
Whiff test: A drop of vaginal discharge is mixed with 10% potassium hydroxide solution and the odour is assessed.
Clue cells: These are the epithelial cells stippled with the bacteria and are diagnostic of Bacterial vaginosis.
