In defined patient populations attending a genitourinary medicine department, screening for vaginal candidosis resulted in 26.3% positive rate. Microscopy using Gram-stained slide was useful in early diagnosis and resulted in the detection of 64.8% of symptomatic cases. Samples from the anterior fornix proved most sensitive for culture diagnosis while the left lateral vaginal wall proved least sensitive (positive predictive value 0.88 cf 0.81).
在前往泌尿生殖医学科就诊的特定患者群体中，阴道念珠菌病筛查的阳性率为26.3%。使用革兰氏染色玻片进行显微镜检查对早期诊断很有用，可检测出64.8%的有症状病例。来自阴道前穹窿的样本在培养诊断中最敏感，而阴道左侧壁最不敏感（阳性预测值分别为0.88和0.81）。
