Abstract |
Background |
Vaginal discharge is the most common gynecological symptom in prepubescent girls.
Case |
We report a case of vaginitis caused by Corynebacterium amycolatum in a prepubescent girl and successful treatment with targeted antibiotics.
Summary and Conclusion |
Vaginal discharge is most commonly attributed to poor hygiene or nonspecific irritants; however, some patients have recurrent vulvovaginitis that is primarily caused by a variety of bacteria. For these patients, identifying the associated pathogens is critical for treatment.
