Abstract

Lnfeksi Haemophilus vaginalis merupakan salah satu penyakit menular seksual yang sering dialami oleh para wanita. Kejadian penyakit ini cukup tinggi. Menurut Klein (1994) 40% dari kunjungan penyakit menular seksual di institusi pelayanan kesehatan merupakan penderita infeksi Haemophilus vaginalis, disebutkan pula bahwa penyakit tersebut belum sepenuhnya dapat difahami. Dari hasil kajian di salah satu klinik yayasan kanker di Surabaya, pada tahun 1999 ditemukan 6,2% pengunjung yang mengidap Haemophilus vaginalis. Bila dilihat proporsinya nampak tidak terlalu besar, tetapi bila dilihat jumlahnya nampak cukup besar, yaitu sebanyak 1.544 orang penderita. Dengan besarnya jumlah penderita infeksi Haemophilus vaginalis tersebut dapat berakibat terjadinya komplikasi kepada pengidapnya. Menurut Schullman (2000), komplikasi akibat menderita Haemophilus vaginalis adalah radang panggul, infeksi kongenital bahkan dapat meyebabkan kematian janin. Oleh karena itu diperlukan kajian tentang faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi penyakit Haemophilus vaginalis.
