The application of vaginal microecology diagnosis and treatment in female vaginitis / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

The evaluation of vaginal microecology has certain advantages in the accurate and rapid diagnosis of single vaginitis and mixed vaginal infections,which can reduce the rates of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.Moreover, this evaluation can guide the application of vaginalmicroeclogial modulators after treatment for vaginitis.At present, the currentevaluation of vaginal microecology is mainly based on morphology mainly, and supplemented by functional testing.However, functional testing needs regulation and quality control,and further clinical research is needed for the diagnosis of vaginal infections based on microbial metabolites alone.(Chin J Lab Med,2018,41256-258)
