LaboratoryBacterial vaginosis score in Vaginal fluid Qualitative by NAA with probe detection
Definition
The total bacterial vaginosis (BV) score is an indicator of the presence of bacterial vaginosis in vaginal fluid. The total BV score is the sum of the three individual target scores of Atopobium vaginae (AV), Bacterial Vaginosis-Associated Bacterium 2 (BVAB2) and Megasphaera species Type 1 (Mega1). A total score of 0-1 indicates the absence of BV, 2 is indeterminate for BV, and 3-6 indicates the presence of BV.
