A study was carried out to compare the efficiency of the Microstix-Candida system with the standard method of isolating candida using Sabouraud medium. It was found that the Microstix-Candida system gave a 96.8% correlation with the standard method for vaginal specimens, and 91.8% correlation for other specimens. The Microstix-Candida system may be a useful laboratory procedure, in addition to direct microscopy, for the diagnosis and management of vaginal candidiasis in clinics with limited access to laboratory facilities.
开展了一项研究,以比较Microstix - 念珠菌系统与使用沙保弱培养基分离念珠菌的标准方法的效率。结果发现,对于阴道标本,Microstix - 念珠菌系统与标准方法的相关性为96.8%,对于其他标本,相关性为91.8%。除直接显微镜检查外,Microstix - 念珠菌系统可能是一种有用的实验室检测方法,可用于实验室设施有限的诊所对阴道念珠菌病的诊断和处理。
