[Vulvovaginitis in childhood. Experiences in a pediatric-gynecologic clinic].

Vulvovaginitis was diagnosed in 43% of more than 1000 gynecologic-pediatric patients. The etiology, the diagnosis and the treatment of nonspecific as well as of specific infections are discussed according to the frequency of occurrence during the different hormonal (endocrinological) periods. An easy and practicable application of diagnostic and therapeutic measurements is of importance for the treatment of this most common disease in gynecologic pediatric patients.
