  • Title: Trichomoniasis: its clinical significance and diagnostic challenges.
    Author: Borchardt KA.
    Journal: Am Clin Lab; 1994 Sep; 13(9):20-1. PubMed ID: 10163483.
    Abstract:
    Trichomoniasis is a significant STD worldwide. Clinical studies have demonstrated that trichomoniasis may have serious side effects both in pregnancy and in a predisposition to retrovirus infection. Therefore it is important that clinicians request the most accurate diagnostic test available. This is mandated by the significant percentage of both male and female patients that may be asymptomatic. Numerous clinical studies have indicated that the most sensitive test for T. vaginalis is with culture. The InPouch TV culture test has demonstrated high sensitivity, long shelf life, and microscopic advantages over other culture procedures.
