The aim of this study was to discuss a case of an acute, hemorrhagic, overgrowing vaginal inflammation caused by Streptococcus agalacitae. Intravaginal globules based on methylcellulose and gelatin, containing a lactic acid and chitosan complex in mole relation 1:1 to 4:1 and, in succesion, an addition of hydrophilisating substances like: PEG-200, propylene-1,2 glycol or glycerol, were applied in the treatment process.
