A) Candidiasis
B) Trichomoniasis
C) Bacterial vaginosis
D) Chlamydial infection


Ans: B
Feedback:
Trichomoniasis causes a copious, frothy, malodorous, green or yellow discharge. The characteristic vaginal discharge of candidiasis, when present, is usually odorless, thick, and cheesy. The predominant symptom of bacterial vaginosis is a thin, grayish white discharge that has a foul, fishy odor. Chlamydial STD may be asymptomatic, but most women have mucopurulent drainage or hypertrophic cervical changes on examination.
