Abstract
G. vaginalis was isolated from 52.4 per cent patients with non-specifi c vaginitis. The haemagglutinating activity of G. vaginalis was strong est with human '0' red cells and weaker reactions were observed with s heep and chick erythrocytes. Haemagglutinating activity of G. vaginali s with human 'O' cells (1:16 titre) could be correlated with clue cell s in vaginal discharge in 73 per cent patients while in lower titres, this correlation was not observed.
