Diagnostic Value of Amsel's Clinical Criteria for Diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis

Global Journal of Health Science, 2014
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the most prevalent infections in women of reproductive age. Amsel's criteria and Nugent scoring system are among the most commonly used diagnostic methods. Although Nugent scoring system is considered the gold standard for diagnosing BV, it is time consuming and costly, and its interpretation needs lab equipment and ...

Diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis: Amsel’s Criteria vs Nugent’s scoring

Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences, 2016
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginitis. If untreated, it is associated with serious complications. BV is a poly-microbial, synergistic infection, involving over-growth of multiple bacterial pathogens. Vaginal flora becomes altered leading to increased pH due to decrease in lactobacilli (which produce H2O2).Although Nugent's ...

A multi-omic systems-based approach reveals metabolic markers of bacterial vaginosis and insight into the disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal disorder of reproductive-age women. Yet the cause of BV has not been established. To uncover key determinants of BV, we employed a multi-omic, systems-biology approach, including both deep 16S rRNA gene-
