Forty-four women were examined for evidence of traumatic intercourse. Toluidine blue dye was employed as an objective adjunct in the evaluation because of its sensitivity for exposed superficial nuclei. Seventy percent of nulliparas and 40% of the total number of patients examined within 48 hours after complaint of sexual assault demonstrated toluidine blue-positive lacerations. Only 1 of 22 patients presenting after consenting intercourse demonstrated toluidine blue-positive lacerations. This new use of toluidine blue may prove of value in examining of the victim of sexual assault because of the dye's ability, independent of the examiner's skill, to indicate injury in collection of evidence for court proceedings.
对44名女性进行了外伤性性交证据检查。由于甲苯胺蓝对暴露的浅表细胞核具有敏感性，因此在评估中用作客观辅助手段。在性侵投诉后48小时内接受检查的未产妇中有70%，总检查患者中有40%显示甲苯胺蓝阳性撕裂伤。在自愿性交后就诊的22名患者中，只有1名显示甲苯胺蓝阳性撕裂伤。甲苯胺蓝的这种新用途可能在性侵犯受害者检查中具有价值，因为这种染料能够独立于检查者的技能，在为法庭诉讼收集证据时指示损伤情况。
