## Overview
This test is performed for the microscopic detection of Gardnerella vaginalis in vaginal swab specimens. Smear examination helps in the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis by identifying characteristic clue cells and associated vaginal flora changes, providing rapid, presumptive diagnostic information.

## Preparation Required
The patient should preferably avoid vaginal touching, intravaginal medications, antiseptics or intercourse for at least 24?48 hours prior to sample collection. The sample should ideally not to be collected during menstruation, unless clinically indicated. Any ongoing antibiotic treatment should be mentioned, as it may affect smear findings.
