This study compared the use of Diamond's modified medium to InPouch for the culture of Trichomonas vaginalis from pooled vaginal secretions. The sensitivity for InPouch was 82.4% (61/74) versus 87.8% (65/74) for Diamond's modified medium. There were no significant differences in the sensitivity and negative predictive value of InPouch compared to Diamond's modified medium.
本研究比较了使用戴蒙德改良培养基与InPouch培养法从混合阴道分泌物中培养阴道毛滴虫的效果。InPouch培养法的敏感性为82.4%(61/74),而戴蒙德改良培养基的敏感性为87.8%(65/74)。与戴蒙德改良培养基相比,InPouch培养法在敏感性和阴性预测值方面无显著差异。
