Bacterial Vaginosis: Diagnostic Tests

Obligatory medical device diagnostics.

  • Phase contrast microscopy of vaginal secretions (vaginal secretions) – live, unstained cells appear extremely low in contrast in a normal brightfield microscope, these are well visualized by the phase contrast method (see below 1st order laboratory parameters).

Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics and obligatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic clarification.
