Abstract
In the review there is reflected the new look at the introduction into clinical microbiology new methods of diagnosis (such as Raman/Fluorescence Technology), which made it possible to enlarge micro-ecological investigations. Suppression of the normal vaginal microflora was found to lead to a variety of causes of the pathology of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory genesis. Iron-binding glycoprotein from the family of transferrin (lactoferrin) gives rise to the decrease of the inflammatory response of the body, it can be used in treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis.
