Corynebacterium vaginale was recovered from vaginal-cervical swab specimens in 164 of 288 women with leukorrhea and in four of 30 women without signs or symptoms of lower genital tract infection. The amount and character of the leukorrhea observed in association with C. vaginale infection were variable; in typical cases the discharge had the appearance of a thin paste. In a series of 100 patients studied to determine the apparent causes of leukorrhea, noninfectious causes were inferred in seven patients and no cause ascertained in six. Candida or other yeasts, C. vaginale, and Trichomonas vaginalis were identified alone or in combination in 87 patients; 53 had yeasts, 35 had C. vaginale, and 15 had T. vaginalis.
