Trichomonas vaginalis was diagnosed in 42 (19%) of 227 adult males with urethral discharge. In 27 men (15%) T. vaginalis was isolated together with Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Non-gonococcal urethritis was diagnosed in 15 patients and T. vaginalis was isolated from 47% of such patients. Stained smear preparations, i.e. RapiDiff and acridine orange of modified Diamond's media, were superior to wet smear microscopy for the identification of T. vaginalis. RapiDiff stain was the most sensitive and identified 41 of 42 (98%) positive cultures. It is recommended that all turbid culture media should be stained for the optimal diagnosis of trichomoniasis.
在227例有尿道分泌物的成年男性中，42例（19%）被诊断为阴道毛滴虫感染。27例男性（15%）同时分离出阴道毛滴虫和淋病奈瑟菌。15例患者被诊断为非淋菌性尿道炎，其中47%的患者分离出阴道毛滴虫。染色涂片制剂，即改良钻石培养基的快速鉴别染色法（RapiDiff）和吖啶橙染色法，在阴道毛滴虫的鉴定方面优于湿涂片显微镜检查。RapiDiff染色最为敏感，在42例阳性培养物中鉴定出41例（98%）。建议对所有浑浊的培养基进行染色，以实现滴虫病的最佳诊断。
