CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY WITH NUGENT SCORE (HVS)

The Culture and Sensitivity with Nugent Score (HVS) is a high‑vaginal‑swab test that combines microbiological culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing with the Nugent scoring system to quantify shifts in vaginal flora and identify pathogens such as Gardnerella, anaerobes or Candida. By reporting both organism identification and targeted antibiotic sensitivities alongside a standardized Nugent score, the test helps clinicians choose effective, narrow‑spectrum treatment and reduces the risk of recurrence or inappropriate therapy. Offered with convenient home sample collection across Dubai and the UAE, this test is recommended for women with abnormal discharge, odor, recurrent or treatment‑resistant vaginal infections and is interpreted by laboratory specialists to guide timely management.

• Nugent Score (0–10)
• Gram‑stain morphotypes: Lactobacillus, Gardnerella/Bacteroides, Mobiluncus
• Microscopy: clue cells, epithelial cells, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (WBCs) and vaginal pH
• Culture identification: aerobic/anaerobic bacteria and Candida species
• Antibiotic susceptibility profile (sensitivity/resistance, MIC where applicable)
• Sample type: High Vaginal Swab (HVS) — home collection across Dubai & UAE
