Understanding Vaginitis: A Common Yet Complex Condition
Where Precision Meets Efficiency in Vaginitis Diagnostics
50-75% of people with Bacterial Vaginosis are asymptomatic, making regular screening essential for early detection and treatment. When symptoms do present, they can vary in severity and presentation, making accurate diagnostic testing crucial for proper patient care.
Traditional testing methods can miss subtle or early-stage infections, especially in asymptomatic cases. PCR technology offers superior detection capabilities, providing results in 24 hours compared to traditional culture methods that can take 3 days or longer. This molecular approach ensures accurate diagnosis even when symptoms aren’t clearly present.
Common Clinical Signs:
Characteristic vaginal discharge (thin, gray, white, or green with distinctive odor)
Burning sensation during urination or occasional itching
Odor that becomes more noticeable after sexual activity or during menstruation
PCR vs. Traditional Methods
Embracing Modern Diagnostics for Superior Results
PCR Testing
- PDetects multiple pathogens simultaneously
- PProvides results within 24-48 hours
- POffers superior sensitivity and specificity
- PRequires only a single sample for comprehensive testing
- PIdentifies asymptomatic infections reliably
Traditional Testing
- OOften tests for single pathogen at a time
- OMay take several days to weeks for results
- OCan miss low-level or early-stage infections
- OFrequently requires multiple samples or repeat testing
- OLess effective in detecting asymptomatic cases
Our Comprehensive Vaginitis Panel
Four-in-One Detection for Thorough Diagnosis
Our advanced multiplex panel detects four major Vaginitis pathogens:
- Gardnerella vaginalis (GV)
- Pan Candida (albicans, dubliniesis, parapsilosis, tropicalis)
- Mycoplasma hominis (MH)
- Trichomonas vaginalis (TV)
Ensuring Test Reliability with Built-in Quality Control:
- Internal process control RNase P
Specimen Requirements for Optimal Testing Results:
- Specimen Type: Vaginal Swab (ESwab with 1mL of Liquid Amies)
