Comparative Analysis of the Detection of Positive Candida in Female Vulvovaginal Area and the Results of Fungal Species Identification by Different Detection Methods
Objective To compare the detection rates and species identification results of Candida in female vulvovaginal samples using agglutination,culture,and microscopic examination methods.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 1 200 patients with Candida vulvovaginitis admitted to Kaifeng City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to June 2023.All patients underwent Candida detection using agglutination,culture,and microscopic examination methods.Based on the combined test results,the detection rates of Candida using agglutination,culture,and microscopic examination methods were analyzed,along with the average time for obtaining test results.Results Among the 1,200 patients with Candida vulvovaginitis,Candida albicans was detected in 1 020 cases,Candida tropicalis in 128 cases,and Candida glabrata in 52 cases.There was no statistically significant difference in the positive detection rates of Candida among the microscopic examination,culture,and agglutination methods compared with the combined test(P＞0.05).The average time for obtaining test results was shorter with the microscopic examination method than with the culture and agglutination methods,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Agglutination,culture,and microscopic examination methods have high accuracy in detecting Candida in females,with the microscopic examination method requiring less time for testing,thereby speeding up the detection process.
