Abstract

Trichomonas vaginalis causes a common genitourinary infection which is frequently asymptomatic. At present, pregnant women are not usually screened for the infection unless they are symptomatic. In the present study, we screened and obtained samples for culture from all pregnant women attending a prenatal clinic with the InPouch TV culture system and compared results with those of standard culture in Diamond's medium and slide wet mount examination. The InPouch TV culture system was as reliable as Diamond's medium in detecting T. vaginalis and may be useful and effective in a pregnancy clinic setting.

摘要

阴道毛滴虫会引发一种常见的泌尿生殖系统感染，这种感染通常没有症状。目前，除非孕妇出现症状，否则通常不会对其进行该感染的筛查。在本研究中，我们使用InPouch TV培养系统对一家产前诊所的所有孕妇进行筛查并采集样本进行培养，然后将结果与在钻石培养基中进行的标准培养及玻片湿片检查的结果进行比较。InPouch TV培养系统在检测阴道毛滴虫方面与钻石培养基一样可靠，在妊娠诊所环境中可能是有用且有效的。
