Brief summary
Purpose of research. To present the experience of using vaginal cream with clindamycin and butoconazole in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis associated with an asymptomatic form of papillomavirus infection. Material and methods. 60 women aged 23 to 49 years (average age - 32+-5 years) with a diagnosis of Bacterial vaginosis were examined on a voluntary basis. Papillomavirus infection of the urogenital tract, asymptomatic form". The recurrence rate of bacterial vaginosis was 4-6 times a year. The microscopic picture of the vaginal biotope corresponded to vaginal dysbiosis. Criteria for exclusion from the study: intraepithelial lesions and malignant processes (based on the results of cytological examination of a cervical smear for oncocytology); concomitant sexually transmitted infections (Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis). All patients were prescribed treatment according to the original prolonged scheme: vaginal cream with clindamycin and butoconazole (Clindacin B prolong) 1 time a day, in a single dose for 6 days daily, then-1 time a week in a single dose for 6 weeks. Results. The use of Clindacin B prolong cream after 3 months stopped the clinical manifestations and vaginal dysbiosis. 6 months after the start of treatment, 44 patients (73.3%) were found to have eliminated the human papillomavirus from the urogenital tract; in other cases, the viral load decreased. This is due to the immune-mediated reaction of the body in the conditions of normalization of the vaginal microbiome, which ensures the restoration of barrier function and local immunity. Conclusion. In women with bacterial vaginosis, associated with the asymptomatic form of human papillomavirus infection, use of vaginal cream with clindamycin and prolonged butokonazola for the scheme without additional use of immunomodulators offers long-lasting remission of bacterial vaginosis by a decrease in load of human papillomavirus in tissues uropetala tract, absence of clinical manifestation of human papillomavirus infection.
