CONT

Apart from clinical assessment, the methods of identifying Trichomonas vaginalis in women are...(1) Examination of fresh preparations from the vagina or urethra by direct microscopy;(2) Culture in artificial media;(3) Microscopic examination of stained preparations. Direct microscopy. In this method a fresh specimen of the vaginal secretion is transferred... from the vaginal vault to a glass microscope slide and examined under a cover slip using either oil immersion high power, dark-field, or phase contrast microscopy.

CONT

Because of the low sensitivity of direct microscopy, culture may be used, where available, to isolate the parasite from urethral swabs, urine sediments, prostate fluid and vaginal specimens.

  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
CONT

Examen direct au microscope -- C'est un examen facile à réaliser et qui est très informatif [...] Le prélèvement est étalé sur une lame avec une goutte de sérum physiologique. On peut ainsi visualiser un Trichomonas, des fragments mycéliens ou des leucocytes.

CONT

Trichomonas vaginalis [...] À cause de la faible sensibilité de la microscopie directe, on peut effectuer une culture, lorsque disponible, afin d'isoler le parasite à l'aide d'écouvillonnages urétraux, de sédiments urinaires, de liquide prostatique et d'échantillons vaginaux.

OBS

On parle d'un «examen microscopique direct», par opposition à un examen microscopique effectué après concentration ou mise en culture de l'échantillon, par exemple.
