LOINC Code


LOINC code74635-4
nameBacterial vaginosis DNA panel - Vaginal fluid by NAA with probe detection
descriptionReal-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is performed on vaginal specimen to assess for bacterial vaginosis (BV). Regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA genes of normal peroxidase-producing Lactobacillus species (L acidophilus, L crispatus, and L jensenii) and BV-associated bacteria (G vaginalis, A vaginae, and Megasphaera spp) are targeted for detection. This panel was created for, but not limited in use to, the SureSwab(R) Bacterial Vaginosis DNA assay. Concentrations of Lactobacilli are collectively reported under the term "Lactobacillus spp." These species are among the peroxide producing Lactobacilli thought to be protective against bacterial vaginosis. In the absence of peroxide producing Lactobacilli, Atopobium vaginae, Megasphaera spp., and Gardnerella (>6.0 log cells/mL) have been associated with BV.
