Vaginal smear showing bacterial vaginosis.

I am fine with making that diagnosis on smears alone, which is how it is done. But I have always thought the name was very odd. Where Vaginal Bacteriosis is “a vagina with lots of bacteria”, bacterial vaginosis is just… bacteria with lots of vaginas. Which is weird.

   Is this one that has the clue cells or is it a different vaginal infection?
