69567-6
LaboratoryMegasphaera sp type 1 DNA [Presence] in Vaginal fluid by NAA with probe detection
Definition
The result (score) of this test is based on the quantity of Megasphaera species Type 1 (Mega1) in vaginal fluid by nucleic acid amplification compared to known calibrator values. The score is used to determine the presence of bacterial vaginosis (see LOINC 69564-3).
