Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Trichomoniasis is a leading cause of vulvovaginitis and cervicitis. Our purpose in this study was the comparison of wet-mount examination and culture of T.vaginalis in symptomatic and asymptomatic women. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study population included ninety women with the complain of vaginal discharge (the symptomatic group) and seventy-eight with other reasons (the asymptomatic group) attending the gynecologie outpatient clinic. We performed wet-mount preparation and culture of vaginal discharge with Oxoid Trichomonas Medium No2x24 (LR027). RESULTS: T.vaginalis was detected by culture or wet-mount examination in 10 (6%) of 168 women. The diagnostic value of wet-mount examination was found 60% when compared with the culture. The frequency of T.vaginalis infection was found same in in symptomatic and asymptomatic women (p= 0.341, Odds Ratio: 2.108, %95 Coinfidence Intervale: 0.52 - 8.45). CONCLUSION: Many patients who harbor T.vaginalis may be asymptomatic.

Özet

AMAÇ: Trikomoniyaz, vulvovaginit ve servisitin en önde gelen sebeplerinden biridir. Bizim bu çalışmada amacımız, semptomatik ve asemptomatik kadınlarda T.vaginalis için direkt preparat ve kültürü karşılaştırmakdı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum polikliniğine akıntı şikayeti ile başvuran 90 kadın (semptomatik grup) ve başka şikayetlerle başvuran ancak muayene sırasında vaginal akıntı saptanan 78 kadın (asemptomatik grup) çalışma grubunu oluşturdu. Akıntı örneklerinden direkt preparat ve kültür (Oxoid Trichomonas Medium No2x24 (LR027)) yapıldı. SONUÇLAR: Bizin toplam 168 olguluk araştırmamızda T.vaginalis görülme sıklığı %6'dır (10/168) ve T.vaginalis infeksiyonu semptomatik ve asemptomatik olgularda aynı oranda görülmektedir (p= 0.341, Odds Ratio: 2.108, %95 Coinfidence Intervale: 0.52 - 8.45). Lam-lamel arası taze preparatın tanısal değeri sınırlıdır ve araştırmamızda sensitivitesi %60'dır. T.vaginalis infeksiyonu semptomatik ve asemptomatik olgularda aynı oranda görülmektedir (p= 0.341, Odds Ratio: 2.108, %95 Coinfidence Intervale: 0.52 - 8.45).
