In the diagnosis of trichomoniasis Papanicolaou-stained cervical smears gave marginally better results than cultures of vaginal secretion; stained cervical smears and wet films of vaginal material gave similar results. Culture of vaginal secretion on Sabouraud's medium gave the best results in the diagnosis of candidiasis; Papanicolaou-stained smears gave significantly fewer positive results than either cultures or Gram-stained vaginal smears. Papanicolaou-stained smears were reported as positive in only two of five patients with cervical herpes simplex virus infection. It is concluded that Papanicolaou smears are as good as wet films or cultures in the diagnosis of trichomoniasis but cannot be relied on for the diagnosis of candidiasis, or for detecting herpes simplex virus infection.
在滴虫病的诊断中,帕帕尼科拉乌染色的宫颈涂片结果略优于阴道分泌物培养;染色的宫颈涂片和阴道分泌物湿片结果相似。在沙氏培养基上培养阴道分泌物对念珠菌病的诊断效果最佳;帕帕尼科拉乌染色涂片的阳性结果明显少于培养物或革兰氏染色的阴道涂片。在5例宫颈单纯疱疹病毒感染患者中,只有2例的帕帕尼科拉乌染色涂片报告为阳性。得出的结论是,帕帕尼科拉乌涂片在滴虫病诊断中与湿片或培养效果相当,但在念珠菌病诊断或检测单纯疱疹病毒感染方面不可靠。
