Abstract

The microbiological study of vaginal microflora in 40 patients of the reproductive age (20-30 years) with papilloma virus infection in association with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of the uterine neck revealed dysbiotic disturbances in vaginal microflora, manifested by a decrease in the isolation rate and amount of lacto- and bifidobacteria and by excessive growth of opportunistic microorganisms. The 10-day course of corrective therapy with the new bacterial preparation "Zhlemik" was carried out. Group 1 (81 women) received the preparation intravaginally on a tampon, group 2 (19 patients) received the preparation in the form of vaginal suppositories. The results of this treatment were indicative of a high sanative effect of the preparation irrespective of the method of its application. This was demonstrated by the results of the bacteriological study made after bacterial correction: the amount of the Lactobacillus was restored, and they could be isolated from all patients; the level of contamination of the cervicovaginal niche with opportunistic microbial strains considerably decreased. The positive clinical effect after bacterial therapy with "Zhlemik" was observed in 93-95% of cases, depending on the form of its application.
