. Treatment with dequalinium chloride vaginal tablets for 6 days had a cure rate lower than expected; only 37% of patients were considered cured one month after treatment.
This is the first study to utilize a molecular diagnostic test as a test of cure for bacterial vaginosis. The Nugent score is a reliable method for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis, but similar to traditional clinical diagnostic methods, it is not equally reliable when utilized as a test of cure. This study demonstrated that molecular diagnostic testing can be used as a test of cure and this is the first molecular test that can do that. Treatment with dequalinium chloride vaginal tablets for 6 days had a cure rate lower than expected; only 37% of patients were considered cured one month after treatment.
