What is a trich VAG by NAA test?
Trichomonas testing detects the parasite in samples from the vagina or penis to diagnose an infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), trichomoniasis, which is caused by the infection, is one of the most common, curable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
What does NAA stand for in STD testing?
The Gonorrhea, Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAA) (Urine) test examines patients for the presence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae through nucleic acid amplification technology. Positive results may require further evaluation by your physician.Feb 24, 2021
What is chlamydia NAA?
NAAT is the preferred method for detecting a chlamydia infection. This type of test detects the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of Chlamydia trachomatis. It can be performed using a urine sample or swab of fluid taken from a site of potential infection such as the urethra, vagina, rectum, or eye.Nov 9, 2021
Is trichomoniasis included in STD testing?
Most STD screenings do not include trichomoniasis, so in most cases, patients must request a trichomoniasis test. Trichomoniasis is easily treated with a single dose of the antibiotics metronidazole or tinidazole.Jul 27, 2015
What does Megasphaera 1 mean?
Part Description. LP140228-0 Megasphaera sp type 1. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection, occurring when there is an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria in the vagina.
What does NAA stand for?

What is CT ng DNA PCR unspecified specimen?
The AMPLICOR CT/NG Test for Chlamydia trachomatis is a qualitative in vitro test for the detection of C. trachomatis plasmid DNA in urine from males and females, in endocervical swab specimens, and in male urethral swab specimens as evidence of symptomatic or asymptomatic infection with C. trachomatis.
What does GC negative mean?
Negative/Normal: No gonorrhea bacteria were found. If you have certain symptoms, you may get additional STD tests to find out the cause. Positive/Abnormal: You are infected with the gonorrhea bacteria. You will be treated with antibiotics to cure the infection.Dec 3, 2020
What is trichomonas VAG amp probe?
The Aptima T. vaginalis assay is a nucleic acid amplification test that utilizes target capture, transcription-mediated amplification (TMA), chemiluminescent probe hybridization, and the automated Tigris DTS system to detect T. vaginalis 18s rRNA.

What is meaning of Chlamydia GC amplification?
The CT and GC Direct Amplified Test is a gene amplification based technology that represents one of the most sensitive methods for the detection of CT and GC in urogenital samples. This test has the important added advantage that patient urine samples may be used to reliably screen for the presence of CT and GC.
