The authors report on the presence and classification of Leptotrix vaginalis in the vaginal flora of 150 women and compare cytologic and cultural data. This microorganism was detected in 7 cases through observation of stained smears (Papanicolaou's method). But the cultural examination in many elective media showed different microbic forms in 5 cases and mycetes in two cases only. The authors conclude that the observation of the vaginal fluor, fresh or in preparations stained according to Papanicolaou's method, is insufficient to identify this germ. The smear should always be supplemented by the cultural examination.
作者报告了150名女性阴道菌群中阴道纤毛菌的存在情况及分类，并比较了细胞学和培养数据。通过观察染色涂片（巴氏染色法）在7例中检测到了这种微生物。但在多种选择性培养基上的培养检查显示，5例出现了不同的微生物形态，仅2例出现了霉菌。作者得出结论，观察新鲜的或经巴氏染色法染色制片后的阴道菌群，不足以鉴定这种病菌。涂片检查应始终辅以培养检查。
