Résumé
We evaluated the Nugent score against a multiplex real-time PCR (reference) for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis (BV) in 140 pregnant women. The Nugent score had a sensitivity of 60 %, a specificity of 81 % and a negative predictive value of 92 % - therefore a tool to rule out BV in pregnant women.
