Abstract
ABSTRACT: There are minimal data on the BVBlue test for diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in Africa. Among 701 Kenyan women, compared with Nugent score ≥7, the BVBlue test had moderate sensitivity (81.9%; 95% confidence interval, 76.5%-86.5%) and high specificity (92.4%; 95% confidence interval, 89.5%-94.6%). This test may provide a complimentary approach to syndromic management.Entities:
