Vaginal Pathogen Test

The pathogen test of vaginal secretions can clarify the nature of vaginitis. Cotton swab specimens or puncture fluid specimens can be used for vaginal secretion pathogen examination. Basic Information Specialist classification: gynecological examination classification: vaginal secretion examination Applicable gender: whether women are fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: Normal vaginal secretions have no pathogenic pathogens. For normal bacterial pathogens, such as Candida, Enterococcus, etc. should be counted colonies, when more than a certain number of bacteria have clinical value. Positive: Common vaginitis is bacterial vaginitis, viral vaginitis, fungal vaginitis and non-specific vaginitis. Infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Gardnerella vaginalis, Enterococcus, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Chlamydia trachomatis, Acne virus, Human parvovirus, Candida albicans, Treponema pallidum, etc. Tips: When taking secretions, the vaginal speculum should not be lubricated (if necessary, it can be lubricated with saline) to avoid affecting the test results. Normal value Normal vaginal secretions have no pathogenic pathogens. For those normal bacterial pathogens, such as Candida, Enterococcus, etc., colony count should be done, when it is greater than a certain number of bacteria, it has clinical value. Clinical significance Common vaginitis is bacterial vaginitis, viral vaginitis, fungal vaginitis and non-specific vaginitis, respectively, by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Gardnerella vaginalis, Enterococcus, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum , Chlamydia trachomatis, sore virus, human parvovirus, Candida albicans, Treponema pallidum and other infections. According to the test results, the nature of the infection is judged. The vaginitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, anaerobic bacteria, etc. is non-infectious; from Treponema pallidum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, herpes virus, human papilloma The sexually transmitted diseases caused by viruses, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Chlamydia trachomatis, Candida, Trichomonas, etc., have certain contagiousness. Positive results may be diseases: Haemophilus vaginalis vaginitis, Candida vaginitis, tuberculous vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, vaginal leukoplakia, vaginal malignant mullerian mixed tumor, vaginal endodermal sinus tumor considerations Disinfected scrapers used for the material, straws or cotton swabs should be clean and dry, free of any chemicals or lubricants.
