摘要: Abstract Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an important risk factor in reproductive health outcomes, such as pre-term birth and sexually transmitted infections including HIV. However, its etiology, diagnosis treatment remain poorly defined. We evaluated flow cytometry a tool to quantify total bacterial cells vaginal specimens self-collected longitudinally by adolescents. BV was diagnosed Gram-stain (criteria of Hay Ison). Average cytometric counts cell-units (BCU) log10 8.04 per gram sample found correlate with weight (p
