A new slide latex agglutination test was compared with microscopy and culture for diagnosing vaginal candidosis in 367 women attending a genitourinary medicine clinic. Vaginal candidosis occurred in 10% of the patients, and 7% had commensal carriage of Candida spp. The slide latex agglutination test was superior to microscopy in immediate diagnosis and was rapid and simple to perform. Of the patients with vaginal candidosis, 72% were detected by slide latex agglutination test compared with 38% by microscopy. The test discriminated well between patients yielding cultures of Candida spp who had symptoms and signs and those who showed commensal carriage.
在一家泌尿生殖医学诊所就诊的367名女性中，将一种新的玻片乳胶凝集试验与显微镜检查和培养法进行比较，以诊断阴道念珠菌病。10%的患者发生阴道念珠菌病，7%的患者有念珠菌属共生菌携带。玻片乳胶凝集试验在即时诊断方面优于显微镜检查，且操作快速简便。在患有阴道念珠菌病的患者中，72%通过玻片乳胶凝集试验检测出来，而通过显微镜检查检测出的比例为38%。该试验能很好地区分有症状和体征且培养出念珠菌属的患者与显示有共生菌携带的患者。
