Performing Lab:	Quest Diagnostics-Schaumburg: 10120
Clinical Significance:	SureSwab® Advanced Vaginitis Plus, TMA - The assay is intended to aid in the diagnosis of vaginitis using clinician-collected and patient-collected vaginal swab specimens from individuals with a clinical presentation consistent with vaginitis. Testing for bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis and trichomoniasis, as well as Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae is included. The BV test is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test that utilizes real time transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) for detection and quantitation of ribosomal RNA from bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), including Lactobacillus (L. gasseri, L.crispatus, and L. jensenii), Gardnerella vaginalis, and Atopobium vaginae. The assay reports a qualitative result for BV and does not report results for individual organisms. For vulvovaginal candidiasis and trichomoniasis, a real time transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) assay is used to detect and qualitatively report results for Candida species group (C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. dubliniensis, C. glabrata), and Trichomonas vaginalis. For Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, A target capture assay for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) from Chlamydia trachomatis and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae is utilized.
