Additional Testing Information
A multiplex molecular-based vaginitis/vaginosis assay to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, vaginal candidiasis and Trichomonas vaginalis in one test. This test is intended for women with signs/symptoms of vaginitis or vaginosis.
Reportable targets:
-Candida spp. Group (C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. dublinensis)
-Candida glabrata (can be azole resistant)
-Trichomonas vaginalis
-BV (based on algorithm targeting Lactobacillus spp, Gardnerella vaginalis, and Atopobium vaginae)
