A total of 403 vaginal discharge specimens were investigated for Trichomonas vaginalis using fresh wet-mounts, culture and Papanicolaou staining. By fresh wet-mounts, 58 specimens (14.4%) were found harbouring the parasite. On culture 67 isolates (16.7%) were identified. Both wet-mount and cultural procedures detected 18.3% positive isolates. Papanicolaou staining detected 40 positive cases (9.9%) from the patients investigated. Two culture media were tried in this study to isolate T. vaginalis, namely Lumsden's medium and Diamond's medium. Their efficacy was found to be 16.9% and 14.8%, respectively.
共对403份阴道分泌物标本进行了调查，采用新鲜湿片法、培养法和巴氏染色法检测阴道毛滴虫。通过新鲜湿片法，发现58份标本（14.4%）含有该寄生虫。培养法鉴定出67株分离株（16.7%）。湿片法和培养法检测到的阳性分离株均为18.3%。巴氏染色法在接受调查的患者中检测到40例阳性病例（9.9%）。本研究尝试了两种培养基来分离阴道毛滴虫，即Lumsden培养基和Diamond培养基。发现它们的功效分别为16.9%和14.8%。
