Abstract

Objectives: To estimate Trichomonas
vaginalis prevalence in symptomatic
and asymptomatic cases using
wet amount preparation and
modified
Diamond's culture.
Materials and Methods: Two hundred
females were enrolled in this
study,
100 were symptomatic while
other
100 were asymptomatic. Vaginal
swabs samples were collected
and
examined using both wet mount
and
modified Diamond's culture
methods. Results: The allover prevalence
of trichomoniasis was 13.5% in the studied cases. By wet mount, 12%
(12/100) were positive for T. vaginalis
in symptomatic group while, only
1%
(1/100) were positive in asymptomatic
group, whilst using modified
Diamond's
culture, 22 cases (22%)
in
symptomatic and 5 cases (5%) in
asymptomatic
groups.
Conclusions: In our locality, modified
Diamond's culture is more sensitive
in diagnosis of trichomoniasis
than wet amount preparation by microscopy.
