Diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis comparing modified Hay/Ison with molecular diagnosis4 month

Comparing the Gram stained vaginal smears using Hay/Ison (i.e. BV or normal) criteria with a molecular PCR method with 5 different bacterium and after an algoritm end up with the result (i.e. BV or normal). The number of women with the diagnosis of BV with each of the diagnostic test can be compared calculatitng a KAPPA index
