To determine the prevalence of trichomoniasis in male patients from their urine at a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Clinic using the InPouch TV culture system.
Two hundred and four patients were examined for STD infections. Their ages ranged between 17 and 72 years. Depending on their clinical symptoms tests were ordered for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia, and for syphilis. Each patient submitted a clean catch urine specimen for trichomonas testing. A 15 ml aliquot of urine was centrifuged and a drop of the sediment examined microscopically. The remainder was cultured in the InPouch TV test. Each pouch was examined at 24 h, 48 h, and 5 days.
Twenty-four of the 204 patients (12%) were culture positive for Trichomonas vaginalis and only three of these were wet mount positive.
The InPouch TV test demonstrated an epidemiological important infected male population that was not indicated by wet mount microscopy.
使用InPouch TV培养系统，通过男性患者尿液确定性传播疾病（STD）门诊中男性患者滴虫病的患病率。
对204例患者进行性传播疾病感染检查。他们的年龄在17至72岁之间。根据临床症状，安排了淋病奈瑟菌、衣原体和梅毒检测。每位患者提交一份清洁中段尿标本进行滴虫检测。取15毫升尿液离心，取一滴沉淀物进行显微镜检查。其余尿液在InPouch TV试验中培养。每个培养袋分别在24小时、48小时和5天时进行检查。
204例患者中有24例（12%）阴道毛滴虫培养呈阳性，其中仅3例湿片检查呈阳性。
InPouch TV试验显示出一个在流行病学上具有重要意义的受感染男性群体，而湿片显微镜检查未显示该群体。
