Abstract
A fast-acting and portable diagnostic kit for detecting diamines in biological fluids is in the form of a diamine oxidase and a chromogenic system to detect the presence of hydrogen peroxide resulting from oxidation of such diamines. The kit may especially be used to detect cadaverine or putrescine or a mixture thereof, for example in a vaginal secretion, in order to detect Gardnerella-related bacterial vaginosis.
