Review
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with well-described gynecologic sequelae, including vulvovaginal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Vulvovaginal GVHD is a common complication of allogeneic HCT, but has been under-reported in the literature. Guidelines have been published only recently to recommend common terminology, treatment, and surveillance. This review summarizes the presentation, management, and surveillance aspects of vulvovaginal GVHD. We recommend a standardized referral between women undergoing HCT and an experienced gynecologist capable of managing this disease and treating sexual side effects.

Psychosomatic vulvovaginitis is a real clinical entity that should be suspected in any patient whose vaginal complaints do not correlate with the physical findings. Such patients have usually seen multiple physicians, are "allergic" to most vaginal medications, and exhibit signs of emotional lability. In many cases, psychiatric evaluation and therapy can be of great benefit.

Review
The study population consisted of 832 premenarcheal girls. Vaginal cultures are performed on 40 premenarcheal girls suffering from vulvovaginitis. All were less than 7 years old. This patients were seen in primary cares. In 23 cases (57.5%) E. coli was isolated, Enterococcus (30%), mixed flora (10%) and G. vaginalis (2.5%). Common clinical characteristics were pruritus (97.5%), vaginal discharge (67.5%). Dysuria and abdominal pain constituted accompanying symptoms. Only in one case masturbation was observed.

Review
Vaginal symptoms are one of the leading reasons that women visit their health care providers. Women often self-diagnose and may treat themselves inappropriately. This article describes the etiology, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the 3 most common vaginal infections: bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Review
A population of 39 women (average age 64.5 years) suffering from presenile or senile vulvovaginitis was subjected to topical treatment with oestriol-based vaginal cream (daily applications of 0.50 mg of oestriol corresponding to 4 g of cream for 14 days and three times a week in the three following weeks). The results of treatment were assessed on the basis of the clear-cut improvement in symptomatology and the noteworthy increase in the index and volume of maturation of the vaginal epithelium. The effectiveness of topical treatment of postmenopausal vulvovaginitis with oestriol in the absence of unwanted side-effects is confirmed.

Vaginal discharge in young prepubertal girls is a common problem in clinical practice. No specific infective pathogen is identified in most of the children. The reported common microbes include group A beta-hemolytic streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae and some Gram-negative bacilli. Sexually transmitted pathogens such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis are important causes of vulvovaginitis in children suffering from sexual abuse. We report two cases of prepubertal vulvovaginitis presenting with profuse purulent vaginal discharge, and H. influenzae and N. gonorrhoeae identified respectively. Both girls denied any sexual exposure and there was no evidence of sexual abuse. They responded well to antibiotic treatment, and no symptoms recurred in the following months. We would like to emphasize the defined etiology of childhood vulvovaginitis and appropriate treatment, in addition to gynecological evaluation for evidence of sexual abuse.
