| Gardner-Diamond syndrome | <syndrome> A condition, usually occurring in women, in which the individual bruises easily (purpura simplex) and the ecchymoses tend to enlarge and involve adjacent tissues, resulting in pain in the affected parts; so-called because similar lesions are produced by inoculation of the individual's blood or various components of red blood cells and it is thought to be a form of localised autosensitization, although no specific antibodies have been demonstrable; in some individuals, there seems to be a psychogenic mechanism. Synonym: Gardner-Diamond syndrome, psychogenic purpura. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gardnerella | <bacteria> A bacterium also known either as Gardnerella vaginalis, Haemophilus vaginalis or Corynebacterium vaginalis is a gram-negative organism found in 40% of asymptomatic women and children with no prior sexual contact. Known to be a common cause for vaginitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| gardnerella vaginalis | The only species in the genus gardnerella, and previously classed as haemophilus vaginalis. This bacterium, also isolated from the female genital tract of healthy women, is implicated in the cause of bacterial vaginosis (vaginosis, bacterial). It occasionally causes postpartum bacteraemia and bacteraemia following a transurethral resection of the prostate. (12 Dec 1998) |
