Comparison of the InPouch TV culture system and Diamond's modified medium for detection of Trichomonas vaginalis

M H Levi et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1997 Dec.

Abstract

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.
