Case Study: A 22 years old pregnant woman had just completed a two-week course of ampicillin for the treatment of E coli pyelonephritis. She then started experiencing perivaginal pruritus, dysuria, and burning in the vulvar region, and noted thick curd like vaginal discharge. On examination the vulvar and labial region was mildly erythematous; tiny papulopustular lesions were seen on the perineum. Shallow linear ulcerations were noted on the posterior part of the introitus. A thick whitish discharge was noted, there was no foul odor. Q2. What diagnostic procedures are helpful in establishing the etiology of vaginitis? What is the likely diagnosis?
