“…2,15,[21][22][23][24] When compared to IP, the reference test, the sensitivity of WM in the present study was 67%, consistent with other published studies comparing these 2 testing methodologies in sexually active adolescent and adult females. 11,12 As previously mentioned, studies evaluating STIs in children often used WM as the only diagnostic method and confined testing to those girls with vaginal discharge. [13][14][15] Although it may be intuitive that the rate of recovery for TV is greater in the presence of vaginal discharge, 42% (5/12) of these patients in whom TV was diagnosed had no vaginal discharge (P !…”

“…Advantages of IP in comparison with Diamond's medium include lower cost, less strict storage and transportation requirements, and decreased time and preparation. 12 Additionally, IP does not promote the growth of Trichomonas hominis.…”

“…Culture for Trichomonas, currently considered the gold standard diagnostic method, may be performed by inoculation of the vaginal swab sample into a medium specifically optimized for anaerobic growth of T. vaginalis with microscopic examination of the culture for up to 5 days. This process has been improved by the In-Pouch culture system (BioMed Diagnostics, San Jose, CA), which is a closed culture tube that allows visual inspection of the entire culture [17][18][19]. Of critical importance to understanding the existing literature regarding Trichomonas diagnosis is the fact that culture is often the reference method by which the performance of a diagnostic method is evaluated, and culture depends on capture of viable organisms and efficient clinical laboratory transportation systems.…”
