AB A  17-year-old  pregnant  teen  reports  some  vaginal  itching  and  odor  associated  with  a  thin  discharge.  There  is  no  associated  pain.  She  is  unmarried  and  has  had  three  lifetime  sexual  partners.  On  examination,  her  discharge  is  visible  (Figure  76-1).  It  is  thin  and  off-white.  Wet  prep  examination  shows  that  more  than  50  percent  of  the  epithelial  cells  are  clue  cells  (Figure  76-2).  Tests  for  STDs  are  all  negative.  The  patient  is  treated  with  oral  metronidazole  500  mg  bid  for  7  days  with  good  results.
