InPouch TV culture for detection of Trichomonas vaginalis.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Trichomonas vaginalis accounts for almost half of all curable sexually transmitted infections and has also been associated with adverse outcomes of pregnancy and increased risk of HIV in women. Diagnosis of the condition by direct wet mount examination has a low sensitivity. Herein, we describe our experience with InPouch culture system for the detection of T. vaginalis. ...
متن کاملComparison of the InPouch TV culture system and Diamond's modified medium for detection of Trichomonas vaginalis.
This study compared the use of Diamond's modified medium to InPouch for the culture of Trichomonas vaginalis from pooled vaginal secretions. The sensitivity for InPouch was 82.4% (61/74) versus 87.8% (65/74) for Diamond's modified medium. There were no significant differences in the sensitivity and negative predictive value of InPouch compared to Diamond's modified medium.
متن کاملTiming of inoculation of the pouch makes no difference in increased detection of Trichomonas vaginalis by the InPouch TV method.
The InPouch TV is a method which combines a wet preparation and a culture method to detect Trichomonas vaginalis. The top portion of the InPouch TV essentially functions as a slide to be examined under the microscope. If the initial examination is negative, the specimen is pushed down into the bottom pouch, which serves as a broth for cultivation. The issue of timing has not been specifically a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Xenostrip-Tv, a rapid diagnostic test for Trichomonas vaginalis infection.
An immunochromatographic strip test, Xenostrip-Tv, was compared to wet mount and PCR for the diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis infection in women. Of 428 specimens tested, 54 (12.6%) were positive by an "expanded gold standard," defined as either a positive wet mount and PCR test with primers TVK3 and TVK7 and/or a positive PCR test confirmed by a second PCR assay with primers TVA5-1 and TVA6;...
متن کاملA comparison of the sensitivity of the InPouch TV, Diamond's and Trichosel media for detection of Trichomonas vaginalis.
OBJECTIVE This study compared the ability of three culture media (InPouch TV, Diamond's, and Trichosel) to support the growth of clinical isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis and their relative sensitivity for detection of the organism. METHODS The majority of the clinical isolates were obtained from two San Francisco Bay Area clinics. T vaginalis was subcultured in 4 ml of one of the InPouch, D...
