Evaluations of in-house PCR based diagnostic assay using pfoB gene for diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis among symptomatic women with vaginal discharge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Trichomonas vaginalis is one of the most prevalent non viral sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in developing countries. Although several PCR based diagnostic tests are available, the performance, accuracy and sensitivity of these assays vary. Therefore, we decided to compare the performance of various diagnostic gene targets (18S rRNA, b tublin, pROS21) of T. vaginalis under similar conditions and also compared an in-house developed PCR assay targeting pfoB gene with these methods.

OBJECTIVE Trichomonas vaginalis vaginal infections are often both asymptomatic and difficult to detect by current methods. We evaluated the ability of a newly developed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to identify T. vaginalis in vaginal samples from pregnant and non-pregnant women. METHODS In the 1st study, we compared the prevalence of T. vaginalis detection by PCR and culture using Di...

BACKGROUND Trichomonas vaginalis, the causative agent of trichomoniasis, is responsible for more than half of all sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The present study aimed to determine the frequency of T. vaginalis infection and its clinical manifestations in symptomatic pregnant women in the area based on four different diagnostic methods. METHODS A total of 162 pregnant women with at ...

Misdiagnosis, leading to inappropriate treatment of vaginal infections, can prolong symptoms and increase an affected woman’s risk of developing serious complications. Clinical procedures and traditional diagnostic techniques are insufficient to accurately diagnose the most common types of vaginal infections. The BD MAXTM Vaginal Panel is a validated in vitro diagnostic (IVD) molecular solution...
