94420-7

LOINC code 94420-7 identifies "Lactobacillus crispatus+gasseri+jensenii + Gardnerella vaginalis + Atopobium vaginae rRNA [Presence] in Vaginal fluid by NAA with probe detection". Qualitative result for bacterial vaginosis (BV) based on the detection and quantitation of ribosomal RNA from bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), including Lactobacillus (L. gasseri, L. crispatus, and L. jensenii), Gardnerella vaginalis, and Atopobium vaginae. This term is used to report a qualitative result for BV and does not report results for individual organisms. It is intended to aid in the diagnosis of BV. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Hologic Aptima BV assay, which detects the bacteria associated with BV on vaginal swab specimens from females with a clinical presentation consistent with vaginitis and/or vaginosis.

This code measures Lactobacillus crispatus+gasseri+jensenii+Gardnerella vaginalis+Atopobium vaginae rRNA in Vag. It belongs to the MICRO class in the LOINC classification.

LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is a universal standard for identifying laboratory and clinical observations. It is maintained by the Regenstrief Institute and used worldwide for health data exchange.
