Abstract
Mary is a 26-year-old woman who attends a Sexual Health clinic. For the preceding 2 weeks she has noticed a profuse, yellow vaginal discharge that has a rather musty smell. She also has noted mild irritation on the vulva and she has had some discomfort on passing urine. She is otherwise symptomless. Her menstrual periods are regular; the most recent began 21 days previously and was of usual character. Her general health is good and there is no past history of any sexually transmissible infections.
