Vaginitis associated with the presence of Gardnerella vaginalis (confirmed by culture) was treated either with metronidazole or with one of the two nitroimidazole derivatives; nimorazole or tinidazole, as a single oral 2 g dose. Eighty-two patients were treated with metronidazole, 100 with nimorazole and 98 with tinidazole. The cure rates were 79%, 88% and 92% with metronidazole, nimorazole and tinidazole respectively. Therefore we recommend a single dose of 2 g of any of these three drugs in the treatment of such infection.
