Clinical analysis of routine testing of vaginal discharge samples in a hospital / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the routine testing of vaginal discharge samples and investigate the clinical characteristics of the vaginal micro ecology of a hospital women .Methods The data of 2 533 clinical cases were included .The vaginal infection in different ages and seasons was analyzed .The clinical usefulness of bacterial vaginosis (BV) rapid diagnostic method was estimated . Results The rate of low cleanliness samples (stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ) was significantly higher than that of StageⅠ + Ⅱsamples .Of the 2 533 cases ,the detection rates of fungus and small gram negative or gram variable rods were significantly higher among specific patho‐gens and pathogenic bacteria ,respectively .The rates of low cleanliness samples were highest at age below 20 and in the season of winter (81 .3% ,73 .0% ) ,those of fungus at age from 21 to 30 and in the season of summer (23 .9% ,23 .0% ) ,and those of small gram negative or gram variable rods at age from 31 to 40 and in the season of winter (25 .1% ,37 .3% ) .In comparison with golden method ,the sensitivity and specificity of BV BLUETM method were 80 .0% and 90 .0% ,which reflected the accuracy was 87 .5% . Conclusion Vaginal infection of a hospital women was more common in young group and in the season of winter .Fungus and small gram negative or gram variable rods were the major pathogens .BV BLUETM method could assist in the BV rapid diagnosis ,with potential false positive/negative results being fully validated .
