RESUMO
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the combined treatment of the patients suffering from bacterial vaginosis using various methods of ozone therapy. The comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination and treatment involved 102 patients of the child-bearing age divided into 3 groups, matched for the age and the main clinical manifestations of the disease. All the patients comprising group IlIl received basic therapy alone while the treatment of the patients of group I consisted of local ozone therapy and that of the patients of group 11 of the combination of local and general ozone therapy. The study has demonstrated the enhanced effectiveness of the combined local and general ozone therapy compared with the two other modalities and the feasibility of its application for the treatment of the patients presenting with bacterial vaginosis.
