چکیده
Vaginal discharge specimens from 105 women were examined by wet mount, culture, and a new direct immunofluorescence assay to detect Trichomonas vaginalis. The organism was detected by culture in 31 patients, by direct immunofluorescence in 26 patients, and by wet mount in 21 patients.

Evaluation of acridine orange stain for detection of Trichomonas vaginalis in vaginal specimens.
Vaginal exudates from 105 patients were examined by direct wet-mount microscopy and acridine orange stain for the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis. Both procedures demonstrated greater than 90% agreement in both sensitivity and specificity. When specimens can be examined immediately after collection, it appears that wet-mount microscopy is almost as sensitive as acridine orange staining for de...

The preparation of a fluorescein-labeled Gardnerella vaginalis polyclonal antibody is described, and its usefulness is assessed for the detection of this microorganism in vaginal samples obtained from 263 women attending the gynecological department of a general hospital, 66 of whom harbored an intrauterine device. The direct immunofluorescence technique was positive for G. vaginalis in 21% of ...
متن کاملTaqMan-based detection of Trichomonas vaginalis DNA from female genital specimens.
A double-labeled fluorescent probe was designed and evaluated for detecting Trichomonas vaginalis DNA in a 5' nuclease (TaqMan) assay. The T. vaginalis-specific probe contains a 5'-fluorescein (5'-FAM) and a 3'-rhodamine (TAMRA) derivative. Female genital secretions were collected on Amplicor (Roche Molecular, Indianapolis, Ind.) swabs and by a transport system used for Chlamydia trachomatis an...
