Diagnostic concordance between Amsel’s criteria and the Nugent scoring method in the assessment of bacterial vaginosis [PDF]

Sexual Health, 2021
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is diagnosed by the microbiological Nugent scoring method or clinical Amsel’s criteria. Assessment of 404 vaginal samples (293 women) identified 110 (27.2%), 108 (26.7%) and 161 (39.9%) samples to be BV-positive using Nugent’s method, standard Amsel’s criteria and simplified Amsel’s criteria respectively.
