In this context, addressing vulvovaginitis requires a precision-based approach.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pt.linkedin.com\/company\/imp-diagnostics\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/pt.linkedin.com\/company\/imp-diagnostics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> IMP Diagnostics<\/a> has recently launched a new panel using PCR technology that enables the detection of the main etiological agents of vulvovaginitis in a single test, ensuring:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Accurate identification of the infectious agent;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appropriate therapy;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greater treatment effectiveness;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced recurrence rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to provide further insights and outline the Portuguese reality, <strong>we are currently developing a national study<\/strong> involving 180 participants, aimed at epidemiologically characterizing the vulvovaginal microbiota and identifying the most prevalent etiological agents.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through our social media channels, you will be able to follow the results of this
