Candida sp. was the most isolated microorganism, accounting for 22,3%; followed by bacterial vaginosis (BV), l9,7%; and Mycoplasma hominis, 4,7%. BV was more frequently diagnosed in the group aged 20-35. The homogeneous white grayish leukorrhea was the most frequent clinical manifestatoin in those cases with BV.
