چکیده
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.

Diamond's medium modified, the commercially available version of the Klaas modification of Diamond's medium, was compared to Kupferberg medium and to direct wet-mount examination for detection of trichomonads in symptomatic patients. Diamond's medium was found to be superior to both Kupferberg medium (P less than 10(-4) and wet mount (P less than 10(-6].
